You say the West is responsible for these things. That's true. However, perhaps you can cede this to me.
It isn't only the Western world spreading lies in the media. China is a ripe example of this, and they are about as non-West as it gets. Not to mention North Korea, Russia, etc, all of which publicly claim they have state controlled media.
Even most nations in the Middle East control what their people think, in fact they may be even worse. They do it through spreading news, and injected Islam. Instead of the West, I would say those in power who are wanting to stay in power.
Like I said before, we (the USA and similar nations) aren't perfect. But I would rather be here than anywhere else in the world. Even when we do things wrong, I know I sure would miss it here if I was forced to live elsewhere.
Anyway, good discussion mate! Thanks for your replies. I went through and starred your replies, because at least you're trying to figure it out and sharing your thoughts.

So if its fake news, instead of denying it, why dont they investigate it or allow the investigation, would be win-win for Russia and Syria would it not a very easy to prove?
If the people dying are innocent, ie. neither Assad loyal or Rebel loyal at this point, why do they all say its Assad? Or is everyone against Assad even the innocent women, children and health workers with no political lean?
You conspiraloons are disturbing. Under your nose, WMD are happily being deployed against civilians by evil dictators and you hide behind 'conspiracy' to detract from the fact that some pretty sick people need to have their necks wound in before it becomes acceptable practice.
And what happens when you are proven wrong, you dont take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and think, I am the person that denied chemical weapons were used on innocent civilians, civilians of their own regime caught up in a civil war...nope, you drop it like a bad habit.
You are so keen to bring up the Iraq WMD fiasco as proof of all future WMD attacks being faked, you are unwilling to accept that perhaps, something so terrible has just happened to innocent people, you treat the deaths of children like a poster for fake news.
Disgusting.

Anyway, I could do this all night. I never understood why people troll before, it's sort of fun.
But unbecoming. To me.

For me to say I am sublime's protagonist? Buddy, when you get that dictionary, look up the word "sarcasm", will ya?

Opinions is what makes the world turn .... one of us is right maybe me maybe you . I base my open eyes on the following
Pearl Harbor
Vietnam
Central and South America
Korea
Iraq
Afghanistan
New York 9.11
The Pentagon
Did you get your info from the MSM ? ? Or were you there to witness it with your own eyes?
I like you will never know the real truth. It would be arrogance for either of us to say the other is wrong
Agree
President Obama, do not attack Syria. There is no upside and tremendous downside. Save your "powder" for another (and more important) day!
