31. The quality of Syria's diplomats...
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.14.12)
speaks much of Assad. A rabid mass-murderer hiring idiots and fools as his diplomats. What a mess poor Syria is in! Can't wait to see Bashir take the same short drop that Saddam took. What a shame- he had the chance to do the right thing. Beauty didn't kill the beast, EGO did!
32. Playing to his audience
shmulke ,   w coast USA   (08.14.12)
Hassan is just spewing the vitriolic BS his hosts who rule the Islamic Republic expect him to say. Israel hasn't done a single thing against the Syrian government in this civil war. Why would they support, fund or arm the rebels, who are infiltrated by Al Qaeda and would love nothing more than for Israel to be annihilated?
33. It is the war of religion of hate and murderess.
E,M Jordan is Pale ,   SF   (08.14.12)
And the root of this war has been established in 6 century by prophet of peace, The prophet who had start t6o massacres the Jews of Kabah and Medina and Macaa and later on after death of that Prophet devastation between Prophet supporters for who will be the next chalifah and beginning of the war between Ali and Omar and that had continue since then and right now continuation in Iran and Syria and Iraq which is Shiites killing Sunnis and Sunnis killing the Shiites, and it has nothing to do with Israel.

35. Nice late joke
Fahd Alharby ,   Madina, KSA   (08.14.12)
To # 4 The Syrian statement is laughable if people are not getting killed by the Assad regime . # 4 is wrong , the " new regimes " are keenly aware of the need to develop and grow domestically , witness the Egyptians, Moroccans, Tunisians , the foreign adventures are going to be their. Main stay .Recall where he said that of all places: Iran ,Mather wot suites his imperial bosses.
36. Soviet Uncles replaced by Iranian Uncles
R-U-Free-My-Brother?   (08.14.12)
All kept Assads on short leash, and on a frustrating anti-Western course. Just the opposite what ordinary Syrians, old Soviet and current Iranians wanted and sill want.
37. Israel capital isn't Tel-Aviv.
ghostq   (08.14.12)
I reckon Iran doesn't like ilegal immigrants from afrika.
38. @13 Zivron
Jean-Pierre ,   Austria   (08.14.12)
Your facts are false, USA only joined the war after Japan attacked USA, Germany never declared war on US. Hitler never commited sucide, USA gave him and his family asylum in Argentina.
39. #32, #33 - excellent analysis guys!
Yiannis ,   Cyprus   (08.14.12)
This is not about Israel, the west or anything like that. This is Sunni (Saudi, Qatar, Turkey) vs. Shia/Alawite. The Americans are getting involved coz they need a friendly regime that will allow them to bring the oil/gas from Iraq (and beyond) straight to the Mediterranean, bypassing both Russia and the Hormuz straights. The Russians are getting involved because they want to block this. The Iranians are getting involved coz if Syria goes, they are next. The only side that has nothing to gain by this situation, whatever the outcome, is Israel: the Assad regime, may be murderous, bloodthirsty and corrupt but at least it expends itself on making loud noises and nothing more. Assad's father tried to attack Israel and got his "b*lls" served to him on a plate. Ever since the Yom Kippur war there has been an uneasy peace with Syria - but peace nonetheless. If the Alawites are replaced by radical Islamists, Israel will have yet another front to deal with. Assad is a lot of things, but he is not stupid. So despite making lots of noises, he has not lifted a finger against Israel. Israel has nothing to do with this conflict and it should keep it that way. Just watch that border extra carefully guys...
40. War in Syria
Nitdiver5@yahoo ,   Long Beach, USA   (08.14.12)
Isaiah 17:1 and Psalm 83 taking shape. We are at the end of the age. This is the time all the prophets wanted to see. The culmination of the spiritual war raging for untold eons before G_d created man.
41. I am at war with Brasil...
Devorah   (08.14.12)
because I am not happy with the custom Havaianas sandals I ordered. I have notified the U.N. and will declare war if immediate action in the form of an apology from the entire nation is not forthcoming.
42. mossad
carlos williams ,   salinas, USA   (08.14.12)
You are trying to be sarcastic, but your premise is true. Mossad is behind much of the evil on this planet. "By way of deception thou shalt make war." A reminder: those who live by the sword, perish by the sword.
43. its one of the first truths....
paul ,   cairns australia   (08.15.12)
to come out of this whole "Arab Spring" charade.
