What do they hope to achieve if not scare the people at the embassy?
Surely we both are aware that there is a bit of problem in Syria. People are killed ,soldiers and officials are killed and some (you can choose for yourself - Syrian opposition/West/CIA/Zionists/Mossad/whatever) want current government to go. Syrain embassy is an official sign of that government so attacking it is an attack on Syrian government. 7 embassies worldwide were attacked, you think that it was all done to scare people in those embassies?
Is protesting no longer an option?
Of course it is a right option, i do not say that stoming the embassy is good, read my first post. I do not protect those who did it, Australian justice system should treat them according to Australian laws. I am agianst using wrong terms when it suites personal or political agenda.
See, not everything that is bad - is defined terror. Stealing is wrong but still is not terror. Murdering is very wrong but clearly not every murder is an act of terror.
