Assad must go and be tried for his crimes thats out of question yet i cant help but accept that western hypocrisy is nothing new, if dictators serve their interest its good dictator(saudi regime, mubarak, french and italian president was kissing khaddafis hands only 2 years ago :) if not then its either saddam or assad :) their selective justice and so called western values how should i say this ehm a joke :)

5. Russia Raised the Example of Mubarak in a Cage,”
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (05.27.12)
Obama invited his BIG favorites, the Muslim Brotherhood, to his speech in Cairo. Behind the scenes, America worked to oust U.S. ally, MODERATE Mubarak, in order to bring to power U.S. leaders' top FAVORITES, the Muslim Brotherhood, whose stated goal is the DESTRUCTION of civilization and global Islamic conquest. Since moderate Mubarak's ouster, attacks on Egypt's Christians, their homes, churches and businesses have increased enormously and so has the kidnappings, rapes, violent conversion to Islam and forcible marriage of female Christian children by Muslim males. Egypt's police cooperate fully in these crimes against hated Christian infidels. There is no one to help the Christians. G-D help them!
6. Syria's Assad is an Extremely Evil Man. However,
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (05.27.12)
Tragically, Christians in Syria are now living in great fear. Syria's OPPOSITION are specifically targeting, attacking and murdering the Christians. There is no one to help them! G-D help the Christians! The so-called Arab Spring is a terrible nightmare that never stops for Middle Eastern Christians. Western leaders DON'T CARE!
7. Clinton: We are on the same side as Al-Qaeda in Syria
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (05.27.12)
Hillary Clinton Admits US and Al-Qaeda On Same Side in Syria ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmNRcDexVcY. To the great detriment of innocents and freedom, Al-Qaeda terrorists and the Muslim Brotherhood will be the triumphant victors. A huge victory for global jihad. The Free World's people should be very concerned that U.S. leaders consistently take the side of the most radical Muslim terrorist organizations. In Kosovo, US/NATO took the side of the KLA Muslim terrorist organization. On the basis of a PHONY massacre US/NATO knew never took place, US/NATO waged ruthless war against Kosovo's Christian Serbs, winning the war for Muslims.

12. Post#1 Ivan Konev was the general who defeated Nazis
Dan Kelso   (05.27.12)
Ivan Konev was one of the greatest generals of all time. He helped defeat the Nazis. He also was the Russian general who put down the Hungarian uprising in 1956. I'm glad Konev taught those Hungarian Nazi collaborators a lesson in 56. The Hungarians collaborated with the Nazis to murder a half a million Jews in Hungary in 44.
13. the blood of the Syrians....

The US like ALL countries ( Turkeys included ) base their foreign & military policies on whats in the best interests ot their country, there is no such thing as a politician who is going to try and save the world at the expense of their own countries interests. The US is looking to intervene in Syria not because they are looking to bring democracy, its because Assad has killed about 10,000 so far and there is no sign he intends to stop. The US & Europeans don't want to go to war in Syria the way they did in Libya out of fear it will escalate. The west doesn't want to see the pro western royals in Kuwait, UAE and Saudi Arabia topples because under those leaders there is stability and instability in the Gulf means very high oil prices. Now if your a world leader even one that is a great champion of democracy will you want moderate royals toppled in favor of the ideal of democracy or is your priority going to be oil prices? MONEY ALWAYS TALKS LOUDER THAN HUMANITARIAN & POLITICAL IDEAS
15. Russia concerned about Mubarak in a cage?
Matt ,   Israel   (05.27.12)
They seemed to have no such reservations about giving Mikhail Khodorkovsky the same courtroom treatment in his show trials since 2003. And now Putin, the very man who appears to have a personal vendetta against him, is back in power. Yofi.
16. #Dan: Jews and Communists
Tom W ,   USA   (05.28.12)
You forgot to note that your beloved Soviets also actively supported the Arab armies against Israel during the '67 war. The same Russia now supports Iran and other anti-Israeli forces. Your pathological worship of Communist regimes provides fuel to the antisemitic sentiments worldwide. Molotov and Ribbentrop were in good terms with each other to divide Europe between the two.
