It is a civil war, It has amazed me that the US government has backed the rebels/terrorists and not a democratically elected government.

Funny thing, I thought his father took the country in a coup, then called Bashar back to take his place, when his brother was killed in an accident.
Did I miss their last election?

My mistake, just seen his election results and it does look dodgy.
I would still back him over a religious regime which would not let people get educated and squash any freedoms they have now.
It is in a right mess but for any other country to decide Syrian fate is just wrong, we can help the peace process by diplomacy not strikes, this is happening Russia and the US are doing this as we speak, appears to me that you are just pissed that the USA are not being looked at by others as the country who wants to sort this out but this time it is the Russians.
Well done Putin, I would buy you a pint.
Lets not forget this is nothing to do with the amount of lives lost, it never is they use that as an excuse otherwise we would be doing something about many African countries committing genocide.
I find it really hypocritical that the USA and france are bleating about chemical weapons when the USA still can use DU rounds and have used MWD's against other countries.edit on 14-9-2013 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

Any sense that (former) American values will ever count for anything in the region as we abandon leadership on the world stage, has vanished much as our standing up for principles of decency and against despotism.
Commentators are agreed that this is “a coup for Russia,” and that the WMD will linger in Syria under

No one today has any idea that We ARE "exceptional,"
They have moderate Syrians, sure....and when this is over with Assad, the moderate Syrians of the FSA will attempt to negotiate with the Jihadi elements...who will just return the effort by shooting them when they aren't useful anymore. The world has a tiger by the tail with the Jihadi side of the FSA and it's a particularly mean and vicious one.

It's not "weird," it's a logical conclusion on an American blog/website.

Onviously, none of you have much pride or knowledge of American history.
This is what you will live with through fear, indifference and a lack of pride in "American values."
No particular reason why I should have pride in American anything.
I'm not American.
Weird how a lot of Americans on the internet somehow just assume that of everybody.
