I was going through Liveleak and man oh man are there some serious shit out there happening in Syria. Personally I don't give a hoot's arse about it but the whole region is beginning to look like it is tanking big time. I went through the forum rules and guidelines, 'Dos and Don'ts' and I'll be careful in my choice of words as I rant here. Mods, please feel free to delete if I'm out of line.

The picture that got me pissed off is that of a Syrian pilot's head (cut off) being held by a Free Syria Army (supposedly). Now what's wrong with this picture? Is there any need to cut off the head? What does it display here? Barbarism? The intensity of the hatred and resentment can be felt or should I say the simple disregard for decency and morals. What kind of logic and interpretation of the words of God do these people subscribe to? What kind of mercy can you expect of people who dishes out such violence with the promise of divine reward instead of punishment? Even in war there are rules and compassion. Ok, so either sides are equally barbaric or ruthless, then why should the western world go to the aid of either party? The enemy of my enemy is my friend? What a crock of shit? Arm the 'perceived' right side and when they prevail, guess where these weapons will be pointed at?

Now the best thing to do is let them fight it out. The Europeans went through that. Unity, sanity and enlightenment must be found, realised, sparked from within. The world couldn't get Africa to do it so why should they try to get the Mid east to? Just let them fight to exhaustion, fight till the blood soaks the earth as much as the oil that fuels these terrorism. When they realise the flaws in their ways, when they realise that religion should not be a reason for barbarism, then peace will be established and lasting.

To quote Matt Damon in Syriana: "What does the business world think of the Middle East? One hundred years ago you were running around the desert cutting each others heads off and that's exactly where you are going to be in another 100 years"
Looks like we don't need to wait 100 years...

Best line in that whole movie.

you should check out www.theync.com it has some pretty gruesome pictures of what's going on there right now... plus other delight ;)

Just in case you are not fully understanding what is going on, Assad, along with Iran, are threatening to start trading oil in Gold Dinah which would bring about the description of the US Dollar. The US Dollar is worthless paper created by the Privately Owned federal Reserve (the biggest scam in history by the way). It only maintains value due to being linked to OIl but if one of the worlds largest producers (Iran) started asking for Gold backed currency only, the others wil join in and the USD dollar will over night be worthless. It is already inflated to the point that what 7 bucks bought you 100 years ago is 100 bucks today.

So, the US is funding and arming the soldiers of fortune that the CIA created to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. This database of people, which in Arabic is called Al Qaeda (literally means, the list / database) have been sent to Syria to enforce regime change. They are not Syrian, and do not care about the country and only when their pay check comes from. They are also hard line islamists who will / are wiping out non islamic religions and its followers in Syria. This is US funded genocide on a huge scale.

Oh,,, and chemical weapons? Already proven to be launched by the rebels. False Flag.

Educate yourself away from the main stream media which is all just a propaganda tool for the governments which are in turn owned by banking and industrial corporations.

What you had written was also alleged as to why US invaded Iraq. There are no short of conspiracy theories and hypothesis. I do read widely in this area and did a masters in Islamic politics. My 'education' in the matter is from the French, Arab (ex-Syrian, Yemeni and Lebanese) and Israeli perspective. I admit that at one point I was so confused that I do not know what to believe. At the end of all the reading, debate and postulation, I formed a personal opinion on the matter and decided to go from the simplest perspective, Islam has 2 main groups, Shiite and Sunnis (let's leave out the Wahabis for now) and they hate each other. Their discourse is measured in centuries and millennium. Came along the Anglosaxons (Christian Wests) that put an end to their dreams of a caliphate and so the violence begins.
I can go on a little here but I shall not due to work. What is annoying is the rhetoric of the Islamist. Somehow they feel that any violence and actions while invoking the 2 words "Allahu Arkba" would justify their actions. I'm sure both the SAA and FSA players scream those words when killing each other.
I'm not sure how you are so sure about the chemical  weapons being launched by the rebels. I am aware of a handphone which was taken from 3 terrorists that were killed at the Turkey border which contained a video clip of several guys in masks firing artillery. However I've not seen anyone authenticating it. Meanwhile, the region is full of disinformation. So I'd take a pinch of salt in anything that comes out of it.
The old saying that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' shouldn't be applied here because when one of them is subdued, the victor will now turn on the hand that feeds them.

what are you bangin on about, Stan? That lot makes no sense at all.

Lets keep it simple. The US is arming and funding the same Al Qaeda they are pretending to fight in Afghanistan. This is not a "conspiracy theory", its a simple fact that even the main stream press had to admit.
