1. 45,000 dead

Why have we not heard from the United Nations? But if Israel defends its Self the world and United Nations complain. Mr Moon? Is a joke!
2. Syria
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Zion   (01.02.13)
syria looks worse than germany looked after wwii. the number of dead is well beyond the reported 45,000. it is probably closer to 100,000. then there are those who are imprisoned or disappeared. syria will end up being a failed state if and when people will stop fighting. the chemical weapons will be the biggest prize for whoever has control of them. all the big powers will be losers. a failed state is of no use to any foreign power.
3. the rebels will target civilian planes

Shows the kind of people we are dealing with if they say they will intentionally shoot down civilian planes (whose cargo is unknown till it lands ). These rebels are made up of people who will probably turn to terror once Assad is being driven through the streets on the back of a motorbike so what happens if they get hold of some of these AA missiles and use them to shoot down civilian airliners as acts of terror. We should be condemning Obama because he allowed Turkey to give the rebels American Stinger missiles from their supplies to the rebels because Congress forbids the US giving those missiles itself. Obama and his behind the scenes military support to the rebels is going to eventually result in terrorists having weastern weapons.

Syria as a failed state is probably a good thing for the region. Its going to cost about $100 billion just to rebuild +billions have been lost as a result of sanctions. The foreign currency reserves are dwindling fast and when they are depleted the Syria Pound ill go into free fall . There is another million refugees with no homes to return to so they make the economic problem worse. For Israel a failed Syria will be a gift The military which was due fore modernisation is a shambles, there will be no money for new hardware and the stuff they have is being destroyed by rebels. Its als not going to do Hezbollah any favours. One way or another the WMDS will be destroyed, if a post Assad regime refuses to allow experts to come and dismantle them peacefully the US will do it by bombing the weapons sites.If Israel sees Scud launch vehicles heading in its direction it will send in the jets destroy it before launch. The worry for the whole world with the WMDS is if they cal into terorist hands before they are destroyed, defectors have said Assad has made mobile labs & have sent them to Lebanon. For Israel though the longer the fighting the better because it will continue to weaken the country and long term for the US a failed Syria will be just ripe for American companies to exploit get the best of the countries assets for bargain basement prices because of the economic situation.
