31. fed up @ 25, you say - one more war for Israel ...
leo ,   usa   (02.08.12)
When and were was the previous one fought (I have a feeling Arab anti-Israel propaganda is about to hit the fan).
32. Are you deaf?
Tom ,   USA   (02.09.12)
Syria is a Russian protectorate for over 40 years, it has a naval base at Tartus and Putin unabashedly told the West to f* off. Neither the Kenyan - much less the Europeans have the stamina to take on the Russians/Chinese. It's time the reality sink into the keyboard-warriors' fingertips.
33. U.S and West have spent enough money for helping Moslems and
fighting for them!   (02.09.12)
U.S and West have spent enough money for saving Moslems from each other and fighting their wars for them. there are 23 Arab states and 53 Moslems states with a populations of almost 2billion Moslems and huge riches in the world who can sent troops and billions of dollars to help Syrian people and save them. They just dont' want to attack another Arab country because in Arab Moslem culture Syrians who are killing other syrians or Iraqis or Libyans killing other Iraqis or Libyans is nothing evil. this is a normal way of revolving disputes for them. ( any wonder why Palestianians and other Arabs also want to resolve their disputes with Israel through violence instead of talks?) Moslems and Arabs seem like they want to find a reason to kill Americans again. as soon as Western countries attack Syria Millions of Moslems world wide will try to Killing Americans becuase then they will be considered the occpuiers of Moslem lands!
34. #25 and self-serving lies
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.09.12)
You seem to have the market cornered on those. Israel has never and I do mean never launched a war of aggression, unlike the US. As for Americans doing anything to us, you seem to think that you speak for anybody. A vast majority of Americans do not agree with anything you wrote period. We advised the US not to invade Iraq - but your President didn't listen. The allies waiting until over 80% of the Jews were already dead before doing anything. And then they even sent Jews back to Germany after they knew about it. Your invention of history is not acceptable. Since you don't like Israel or Jews why the fuck are you here you racist asshole?
35. #25. fed: put a btake on you hate!
Tom ,   USA   (02.09.12)
Get off from you high horse: the Allies couldn't care less about the Jews: the USA, "The Magnificent" turned back the USS St. Louis full of fleeing Jews and forced them to return to Germany where they all perished. They got the message. And your "brothers in arms" the Britons? They put in concentration camps in Cyprus the Holocaust survivors and unleashed the Arabs to exterminate the Jews. The "Evil" Stalin saved the Jews by arming them. We're perfectly aware of the vicious hatred that you, the "Magnificent" Obamabots and assorted leftist Muslim worshipers feel towards us. Be assured that these feelings are mutual.
36. No need to strike Syria! Assad is doing a great job already!
(02.09.12)
37. Why Help Libyans and Not Syrians?
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (02.09.12)
Simple rhetorical question....There is no Oil In Syria! The world doesn't care about humanity...Money talks...BS Walks. Look what happens in every Islamic country that loses a dictator: They become a radical Islamic Republic. So much for "Arab Spring"...
38. Let The Arab League Do It!
Dave ,   Boulder   (02.09.12)
39. Syrians, predominantly, must win their Freedom
Rich ,   L.A.   (02.10.12)
I am all for the Western world assisting with arms, intelligence, tactical coordination....but not troops - the Syrians must win their own freedom. To be honest, I have the impression that most Syrians, being Islamic, would cheer if Israel were attacked and destroyed. Maybe Almighty God has allowed them to suffer what they wish would befall all Israel.
40. Must strike
Misaki ,   Tokyo. Japan   (05.31.12)
The west must stand on Syria people, whom suffer too much and too long.The west to strike Syria regime immidealy after Houla case.
41. Betito is the only voice of reason
Little Moral   (03.24.13)
The inaction surrounding Auschwitz was a crime. The same for Syria.
