Poor kid. Poor people.

[aGameOfThrones]

Damn! Someone got shot in the face.

[AtomiC]

Violence is bad mkay.

I just wonder if our Government will let us peacefully withdraw from our political bonds. I can only imagine the bloodshed that would insue upon those calling for Independence. My sorrows go to those who have lost their lives. Freedom won is costly, and it must be guarded just as vigorously.

Let's work so that we still have guns when it gets to that point.

[aGameOfThrones]

Why hasn't the U.S attack Syria?

Oh, we will soon for sure. Syria looks like they needs some "hope and change" right about now.

That could lead to a wider regional conflict, involving Iran.

I just wonder if we're going to have the stones to implement the same strategy that our "enemies" have.
OBL stated in 2004 that the objective was to bankrupt the US.
We have never stated an objective.
So for starters, it's possible for them to win, and impossible for us to win.
Then you have to consider the possibility that all of these despotic characters know full well that we will get involved. You have to wonder whether they are part of the strategy.

Americans have the best hardware, the best software, the best bullets, the best everything - but they suffer from one fatal flaw. Hubris.
Other people aren't stupid. I think they know exactly what's going on.

When has that stop the U.S government? The conflict over there is quite wide already.

The Syrian government has no choice. If they dont crack down hard, these western backed puppets will take over. All of these "revolutions" are phony.

[Vessol]

I can't watch more than a few seconds of footage like that. Bothers the fuck out of me..

I wouldn't say it's simple as that. There are elements which are genuine and want real change, and then there are others which are funded by the US government.

Move along people, nothing to see here.

(SouthPark style.)

[Diurdi]

Move along people, nothing to see here.

(No oil.) A great opportunity for some military industrial complex stimulus though.
That first video is seriously disturbing though :(

Syria is a Iranian puppet though. That puts it on the military industrial complex's crosshairs.

God help us...

Not sure if US tax payers are funding Syrian rebels like the Libyan rebels.

[ivflight]

I feel sick.

[Magicman]

What would happen if this happened in America. It would probably be worse

Someone had Faux News on in the gym today.
Asking such hard-hitting questions as "can the US really afford to get involved in Syria, too?"
Foregone conclusion - we *should* get involved, but can we afford it. (They were only talking money.)
The first thing to come to mind was, "Who's going to bomb OUR government, when we're getting gunned down at peaceful demonstrations?"

When Saddam Hussein fell, Iraqi Christian fled the incoming U.S. backed Islamic government by the hundreds of thousands and most went to Syria.

President Obama may be close to once again hitting the "Drone" button right next to his desk.

Good article by Justin as usual.

Your link is bad though, should be: http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2011/04/24/syrian-tinderbox/

Justin thinks that going into Syria would be the tipping point into a larger war. Very disturbing coming from him.

^ Thanks for correcting the link!

Article by Pat Buchanan on this topic:

When Dictators Fall, Who Rises? (http://www.amconmag.com/blog/2011/04/25/when-dictators-fall-who-rises/)


In Iraq, liberated Shiites used their newfound freedom to cleanse Baghdad of Sunnis while al-Qaida arrived and went straight after the Christians. In Syria, it would be a Sunni majority rising if Bashar and the Alawites were to fall.

Also, the Alawite Shia sub-sect is known to celebrate Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter.

[Dreamofunity]

Deeply disturbing; not so much the video, but the fact that those types of situations are occurring at this moment.

Thanks for the article! It really ticks me off that American Christians are supporting the very policies that are getting their brothers in the region killed. :(
