Lieberman Suggests No-Fly Zone an Option in Syria if Violence Escalates

Lieberman Suggests No-Fly Zone an Option in Syria if Violence Escalates

www.foxnews.com

Sen. Joe Lieberman suggested Sunday he would support military intervention in Syria if its president resorts to the kind of violent tactics used by Libya's Muammar al-Qaddafi.

Dozens reportedly have been killed in protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government, raising questions about whether the international community would get involved.

Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, told "Fox News Sunday" that if Assad starts slaughtering his own people, he will risk other countries imposing a no-fly zone "just as we're doing in Libya." He urge

Well, no BIG surprise that Syria could well be the next country on the West's radar.

But, still no mention of Bahrain, Yemen or Palestine.

How are we meant to respect the west's agenda with comments like this? Whilst crimes against humanity continue in Bahrain, Yemeni and Palestine, the west turns a blind eye.

It is obviuos to me what their agenda is. Remove all the peolple in power within countries that oppose Israel and the west's agenda. Meanwhile continue with cautiously soft warnings to the regimes that are puppet's to Israel and the west's agenda.

If anyone can seriously defend this policy, then please feel free to contribute. What I do not want to hear is that the only reason the west will intervene is due to protecting civilians, because we all know this is a lie.

NO! Just NO! When are we going to learn? This is not our concern.

Add another country to the list !!!

It is on Fox, so it could be complete [self-snip]. That being said, I dont think anyone could deny that this is world war III if the U.N decides to go no-fly zone on Syria. Isn't Syria part of the Bush "axis of evil"? I don't think China and Russia would stand by as Europe and America virtually conquer the middle east

A country to invade? - Iran

A country to ignore? - Saudi Arabia

What does the British Prime Minister mean by warning civilians supporting Ghaddafi to change their minds before it's too late? Aren't we meant to be protecting civilians?

Oh yeah, silly me!!

I have been against the military intervention in Libya since day one. Now, it seems the UN members in the Western Europe who signed off on the resolution and the US have opened up a can of worms. Moreover, other incidents like what is taking place in Libya are going to happen elsewhere, and the world will be expecting a similar response. Now it seems Senator, Joe Lieberman, is priming the American public for intervention in Syria should it get out of control? Lets continue to exasperate military capabilities, treasuries, and put more lives at risk.

Chances are things will escalate in Syria, because if President, Bashir Asad, is anything like his father these protests could get messy real fast. Back in 1982, then President, Hafez Asad, was dealing with a unrest orchestrated by the Syrian Brotherhood in the town of Hama. In response to the unrest, he had his military force put up a blockade, and laid siege to the city for weeks with air strikes and artillery attacks. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed. Nothing was done by the international community then? Now, that the US and Western Europe have put their necks out there with Libya, they will have to respond to unrest elsewhere. If nothing is done, they risk losing more credibility and will be labeled as hypocrites by their opposition and enemies.

Moreover, in recent times, where is the international intervention in Myanmar were thousands have been killed under a brutal military dictatorship, in Sudan were millions are estimated to have been killed in the Dafur region, and millions are being killed in armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. What the lives of people and well being of people in these countries are less significant than those of people in Libya? I fear the President and his administration may have unwittingly cracked open Pandora's Box with this latest action in Libya.

"We are going to take out 7 countries in 5 years." ... "Starting with Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran."

Link? When was that?

Isn't Liebermann the liberal Democrat who leans left on every issue - except war that benefits Israel? Somehow 'Lover-Man' doesn't seem like an appropriate name for a chickenhawk.

came across this earlier today. I will just repost what i put in my blog:

I don’t think many people would argue that the bloodshed is heart wrenching. I abhor violence, and detest aggression.

However, something to keep in mind is that liberty and freedom, once stifled by tyranny, often requires quite a lot of bloodshed to restore. This wording was at the heart of the majority of the words of our founding fathers.

But I can’t help but wonder, is there consistency here? Lets say we have some people who do not agree with the government, and want to see things change. This group of people talks about revolution, and maybe even collects some small weaponry to form a “militia” (as is their right as Americans). Perhaps they begin protesting by distributing literature urging people to stand up and be counted for liberty, or some other freedom movement idea.

Would our government respond peacefully to these people, who are (up to that point) acting peacefully and within their rights? Or would our government come down on them, threaten their freedom, and kill them if they do not acquiesce?

See, this is what bothers me here. I am not saying that I support Syria or Libya slaughtering their own dissidents. Not in the least. But it seems excruciatingly obvious that even our own government is accustomed to violently squashing insurrectionists and dissidents.

And I DO idolize our founding fathers. However, I see their errors and evils as well. George Washington marched on and killed US Citizens in the Whiskey Rebellion, because they would not comply.

But this is even deeper than that (which, honestly, is an understandable squashing of a rebellion, as it violated the will of The People). Now a days in America, death is used as the ultimate threat for every single one of 600,000 different laws If you do not wear your seatbelt, you can be killed for it. Seem silly? Try not paying the ticket, then refusing to surrender. Fight for your freedom, as a free man should be allowed to do when an “authority” attempts to enforce a victimless law. You will be killed for resisting this tyranny, make no mistake.

And, in the case of the above rhetorical question, you can be certain that dissidents are killed routinely. There are multiple counts of “freemen” either being killed or imprisoned for their activities (which, in all fairness, have not always been above board). We are all familiar with the Montana Freemen, right? And their untimely demise.

But an even more clear case is the Hutaree’s. Held without trial for years, judges have repeatedly ruled against the Federal Government while they tried to built their case.

So it makes me wonder. What happens when the “freedom bug” hits America? You can already see the waves building, and with the economy getting more and more shaky you can be that a maelstrom awaits us somewhere in the darkness. Will our own government exercise the restraint they demand in Libya and Syria? Or will they continue acting just as atrociously?
