Avi ,   NYC, USA   (03.22.12)
Israel and its servants do not forget the Syrians for a day. Not even for a night. They work tirelessly 24/7 to turn Syria into a chaotic deadly hell like Iraq or Libya.
2. Hague: stop your BS, DO SOMETHING!!!

3. #1 Thank the Iranian Regime, Avi
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.22.12)
They've openly acknowledged funding Assad to put down the Syrian people. Their goal is to spread chaos in the world. Syria is under siege by Islamic conquerors.
4. Little choice at this point

It is what we call the Kremlin two step, the schizophrenic policy Gates talked about in that prism they are still shielding Assad and allowing the crackdown to continue. It is a policy it is strategy, give nothing gain everything. The UN has validate the crackdown with a 2 hour ceasefire and this not new the Russian spoke to the Saudi's about and they say it for what it was.
5. Assad is a good guy
Ronnie ,   Israel   (03.22.12)
Compaired to the Islamist that want to take over who will want revenge on the old regime and will slaughter the Christians, we will see that Assad is not that bad. A plague on both their houses as there won't be democracy.
6. #5 not so simple
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.22.12)
Assad is Alawi supported by the Shi'ites in Lebanon and Iran. He is not a nice guy. Obama and the Saudis decided to replace Assad with a Sunni because it is the "cheapest" way to get Iran. If they win, the Sunnis will exterminate the Alawi, Shi'ites, Christians and Druze. They aren't nice people. Putin supports Assad because he does not want Obama to control all the world's oil Hague condemns Assad because the Saudis pay him.
7. Misguided comments
Fahd Alshummary ,   Kuwait   (03.23.12)
Both 5and 6 specially are wrong , - It is in human to think of Assad interns of power politics only , he is a terrible gangster to his own people . - Haque article is too diplomatic fora serious issue of war and peace . - It is rare that when good power calculus coincide nicely with the right thing to do morally : toppling the Assad& and gang in Damascus .Israel should help too , the Syrians people will never forget it for you . - Tortend to help the Syrian morally corrupt incompetent regime because the Islamists might take over is the wrong thing to say and do morally and strategically .
8. William Hague editorial
Ziad A. Fadel, Esq. ,   Dearborn Heights, US   (04.26.12)
I am Syrian and I want Mr. Hague to stay out of our lives. We support Dr. Bashar Al-Assad and despise the British government. Once again, Mr. Hague, keep your nose out of Syria's business and let our army take care of the Islamist terrorists you obviously support.
