NATO did not kill gadaffi... Is there some other language I can use so you can understand this?
НАТО не убивать gadaffi.
الناتو لم تقتل القذافى
L'OTAN n'a pas tué Kadhafi.
नाटो नहीं मार gadaffi है।
北约没有杀死。首次踏

You know, like in an election or something instead of with a bullet like those NATO animals did to Gadaffi, leaving Libya in a terrible state doing so.

OP YOU NEED TO UPDATE!
The Syrian Government said 3 deaths.
THE COALITION ARE SAYING THEY DID NOT DO IT.
Syria conflict: Coalition denies air strike on army camp
"The Syrian government has said three of its soldiers have been killed in a US-led coalition air strike, but the coalition has denied responsibility. "
Lol, how right you were Benjamin Franklin. I always double check;
“Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see.”
Darn, that is an understatement!

and that`s exactly what is going to happen, all the Nato countries are going to be told to "get the F**K out,we got this"
I believe that`s why Russia brought in all that anti-aircraft hardware and have partnered up with the Kurds and are supplying them now.
There will be no excuses for any Nato planes to be in Syrian air space, no more excuses like " we are just dropping supplys to the "moderate" terrorists".
Making Syria a no fly zone for nato aircraft would be the best to do, too many cooks spoil the soup.
Let Russia and their coalition handle this.If Nato wants to bomb something they can head over to Saudi Arabia and start bombing the people who are financing the terrorists.

that particularly nasty dictator, Mr Assad.
Actually, in spite of being located in the middle of the most complex geo-political situation on the planet, inheriting a disfunctional economy loaded with corrupt officials, Bashar has led Syria to: having one of the most tolerant (religious and minorities) societies in the Mideast; equal rights for women; vastly improved education; reformed economy that was becomming known as the place to do business in the ME; etc etc. Assad's crimes are this: he won't let the Muslim Bros (with the US allies, Saudi Arabia and Qatar) turn secular Syria into an Islamic fundamentalist state; he said "No" to Qatar's deal for a pipeline from the South Pars gas field and "yes" to Iran's deal; he said "no" to the US when we dictated to him the price for admission into the US friendly nations club (you can't have any dealings with Iran); he said "no" when the US told him he couldn't have a political relationship with Hezbollah. Those are his real crimes. More power to him. He's got more courage, more heart, more sense, and more class than all his opposition put together.

If Russia is to play a meaningful part in a solution then Putin will need to start to work towards a solution, which may involve the sacrifice of that particularly nasty dictator, Mr Assad.

I am sure he feels the same when groupthink sets in and only one complementary view is allowed in a discussion. His original point is correct though unless you want to rewrite history. However, dragging us back to topic.
To correct some comments made by people who should know better.
NATO is not bombing Syria. The French, US and the UK are bombing ISIS in Syria. Qatar, Saudi, Jordan, and the UAE are also bombing ISIS in Syria. Russia is bombing everyone, including civilians if emerging reports are correct. The UN is supportive of airstrikes against ISIS.
The macho people who think Russia is going to turn on its magical (untried) AA missile system and start imposing authority live in the land of Nod, IMHO. Even Putin is not that stupid. It does not take a brainy person to see that Putin is in a complicated position and if he starts to hit moderate opposition groups then he'll start to face losses because they will start shoot back.
If Russia is to play a meaningful part in a solution then Putin will need to start to work towards a solution, which may involve the sacrifice of that particularly nasty dictator, Mr Assad.
At the time of capture, Gaddafi was already wounded with gunshots to his leg and to his back, Bakeer said. He was then dragged 50 yards to a black Jeep and thrown on to the bonnet. Several rebel fighters surrounded him, beating him about the face, before he was shot in the stomach and head.
