I agree with you but the world doesn't work that way unfortunately. I mean, if the US government was run by honest, pro-freedom people, I would say go for it.
But guess what, they are murdering thieves. We can't trust them.
They will bomb Syria with DU and then put a worst dictatorship than Assad if we let them attack Syria.

I wonder how hard it would be to send a few elite commandos into Syria to assassinate Assad...
If the US wants to help Syria, do it cleanly. Take out Assad. Find him with a drone or satellite, send a cruise missile up his butt. Problem solved.
No Assad : the army will give up.

I often agree with you, but not this time. Its not the government of any countries right to be murdering its own people.
The correct role for the UN in this is not in arming one side against the other its in trying to broker a truce.
Thats not going to happen with Russia blocking any action to Sanction the Assad regime. At the moment the logical course for Assad its to murder his opponents into submission with Russian and Chinese blessing.
That said, its entirely inappropriate to arm the rebels or support their cause/demands overtly. The only immediate demand should be cessation of hostilities.
That russia has time invested in Assad and a strategic interest in the country is understood. However I feel a chance is being missed here to lead rather than be cast as the villains accomplice.
Justwokeup eh? Stilll sleeping more like it...
If Standard Oil would have had backing from the U.S. government when they discovered the oil in Saudi Arabia, all that territory would belong to us now

So even you admit, that if a country is murdering it´s own citizens, a revolt would be proper. So why aren´t you revolting?
The U.S kills more of it´s own citizens each year than any other country on earth. And not just from lethal injection either, just don´t forget to add all the soldiers that are killed by the non-stop double war foreign policy

Another warning... and a BIG ONE to the west to stop interfering in Syria...
Russia accuses West of stoking Syria conflict by arming rebels
Russia said on Friday that the West was stoking the conflict in Syria by sending weapons to the opponents of President Bashar Assad.
Probably. Iran is helping Assad.
"The UN council is not a tool for intervention in internal affairs and is not the agency to decide which government is to be next in one country or another," Ryabkov said. "If our foreign partners don't understand that, we will have to use drastic measures to return them to real grounds."
I wonder what that would be... giving high tech weapons to Syria/Iran? Arming Hezbollah?
Who knows. Yes Assad is killing his own people. But guess what, it's Syria's people business. We have no right to intervene, even if we all want the killing to stop. Would you want Russia and China bombing the US if a revolt began? I don't think so.
So you are condoning the murder* of innocents in Syria? Sounds like it. Is Russia condoning it? Most definitely. Nothing wrong with sending weapons to his opponents, good for them that they now have a fighting chance against Assad. And its right for Iran to send 15,000 troops to Syria? How about we* send 15,000 of our elite troops to back the rebels? Also its not only Syrias business...its humanitys* business. I would give my life equally for any human on this planet, whether he is American, Iranian, Ethiopian, Chinese, whatever, and im sure many others would as well. And yes, if the US government was murdering its own citizens, and we led a revolt, although we wouldnt need the help of the Chinese or the Russians, id love it. Its time for change in the world.edit on 10-2-2012 by isaac7777 because: (no reason given)
