How if no one is giving them weapons? And they’re influencing no one but western journos.

For this journalist and others Syria is some kind of killing experiment. Just send more weapons(to terrorists) they advocate. For what? They know rebels will never defeat the Syrian army. They just want bloodshed. Somehow they think this will weaken Hezbollah and Iran.

Syria DEMANDS get away!!!

Similarly Turkish, Saudi and Qatari support have made the Syrian opposition bigger than it really is. In fact support for Assad and the rebels is about equal.

To solve the conflict Syria needs a real dialogue:

oh how soon we forget….. or how soon they hoped we’d forget.

it was just 8 months ago that Reuters ran this story

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/0 1/us-usa-syria-obama-order-idUSBRE8701OK 20120801

clearly stating that the us president had already earlier signed a secret order for the CIA and other US agencies to help the “rebels” with a regime change.

and and lets face it, this is a wet dream for the US. they’ve got al Qaeda fighting Hezbollah, Iran and Syria in Syria. in their eyes how could it get any better, they’ve got their hated enemies fighting their other hated enemies in a country they don’t care about.

and if tens of thousands of innocent civilians have to die in the process, that’s just the price of “democracy”

And I ask, why would be want to weaken Iran and Hezbollah???

After all, Iran appears to be as much of a democracy as American is: Elected representatives ruled from above. Except they have a ruling class led by Ayatollah Kamenei, an identifiable man with some morals, for example, no nuclear weapons.

And we Americans are led by an unidentifiable 0.01 percent who have bought out our elected representatives, our media, Hollywood, and have the most advanced means to tell us what to think. Plus, they have lead our economy into the dumps (except for the 0.01% continues to progress). Plus, a military working for this 0.01 percent which is exerting hegemony over as much as possible of the whole world, and which we are forced to pay for.. And they want more of our money to spend on over-seas operations, even when we are getting near to being broke. People are losing their jobs, and their self-respect in our country, because of the scams of the 0.01%.

And Hezbollah: twice kicked the invading, land usurping Israelis out of Lebanon. I mean, who wouldn’t support such protectors of the Lebanese people? (Answer: Zionist land-grabbers, their brain-washed supporters, and other carpet-baggers.)

I’d say: US keep out of Syria. Also, keep our Arab dictator buddies out of Syria. There was the beginning of a democracy movement in Syria, then it was clearly usurped by the criminals, mercenaries, desperate young men (thugs) trying to make a buck, and zealots, all supported by Saudis, Emirates, and Turkey (probably sucked in by the West). We should support Assad, the government of Syria (not some Western made-up group), and seek to persuade him to loosen up on democracy; certainly he would be ready for it by now. This is what we would do if we really cared for Syrians, and for peace.

Not to mention that Russia and China are clearly coming out as the good guys in the Middle East. While we cling to our oil sheiks. Yes, I’d say President Obama could be doing a lot worse in the ME, for example, sticking with Mubarak to the bitter end. But Egyptian spring was clearly a people movement, whereas the Syrian democracy was immediately usurped by the ME power mongers and we have no way of knowing really what Assad would have done. 70,000 deaths without the outside involvement, seems extremely unlikely.

Iran and Hezbollah, along with Russia and China, seem to be the sensible people in this game. We should be working with them for democracy in Syria, not against them.
