I so happy to read that people feel this way.
There is a difference between a Nations Leader who is ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE....and this SCUM BAG who has maintained an IRON GRIP on POWER as his Father also did for Decades.
This is now a Civil War and I do not believe that a DICTATOR FOR LIFE...will ever come out on top during a Civil War. This is a LONG TIME COMING. There is a a Major Shift of Human Concepts going on in the Middle East as most of it has to thank the INTERNET as Social Media Sites have provided the youth of the Middle East with a TASTE of FREEDOM. And they will NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE!
This will also happen in IRAN within a YEAR. Iranian Old GUARD Leadership has underestimated the DEMOCRATIC SEEKING YOUTH. Over 70% of the Iranian Population is UNDER 30 YEARS OF AGE. They are Computer Savvy...and via use of Smart Phones and the Internet...they have gained information and support from many a Huge in Number...Massive Iranian American Support Group System.
These Youths are the Future of a Free Iran...and just as in Iraq...there is DIRECT...MILITARY TO MILITARY communication on going between U.S. Military Forces and High Ranking Iranian Military Leadership as the U.S. does not want to Harm a possible new ALLY. It is HIGHLY possible that once the Religious Leadership realizes that their own people are about to take over...that this OLD GUARD RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP may cause an incident with their Military that would attempt to Make in the eyes of the Iranian Population that the U.S. and Israel are seeking the TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF IRAN. This would be the only way for the OLD IRANIAN LEADERSHIP to rally support and avert their downfall. This is also why the U.S. Policy toward IRAN must be one of patience and restraint...as the ONLY THING preventing an Israeli Attack on Iranian Nuclear Sites is the U.S.
The Iranian Military Leadership is under no illusions of what would be the result of a U.S. Military Response to a last ditch effort via attack by the Old Guard...this is why DIRECT MILITARY TO MILITARY COMMUNICATION IS SO IMPORTANT...as the Iranian Military can be the protector of a FREE IRAN...or CEASE TO EXIST. The U.S. Military prefers them to stay in existence minus the Nuclear Program. Split Infinity

I wonder what would happen if the Shia's funded an armed revolt agains the Sunni government in Saudi Arabia, the citizens of Saudi Arabia would get slaughtered so bad that the massacres in Syria would look like a walk in the park. Luckily for the Saudis they are buddy buddy with Uncle Sam so they don't have to worry about too much foreign intervention.

its so hard days dealing with young men; who's only command from God is to defend his home and fight by the side of his brothers and their fathers.
maybe he's just small for his age and he's really 17...
that's what i'm inclined to believe.
Im inclined to believe that the older Man escorting the kid, should be the one with the rifle. If anything the young boy, should be at home with his family, armed and protecting them. Not in the middle of the fight.
..but maybe you're right. Maybe the kid is fighting for a just cause. ..A shame really though, I'm sure their are other grown men that could take his spot. We have all witnessed in history where thugs have armed young boys and thrown them into a fight. Boys that have had bombs strapped to them, or a shoe shine boy with grenades in his kit.
Ratko Mladic back in court for genocide trial after health care forced adjournments
Perpetrators
Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia and Franjo Tudjman of Croatia used public media in their respective domains and turned television and radio into effective propaganda tools that intensified tensions between Serbs and Croats while demonizing the Muslims. At the same time, they were suppressing independent media advocating for multi-ethnic coexistence. Milosevic, who is a declared war criminal, aimed at reviving dark memories of World War II, Ustasa’s (Croatian Nazi-like movement) killing of Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies. He did so by exhuming mass graves of Serbs and using those as proof that the Croats are enemies thus legitimizing his attacks on their lands.
Tudjman, who also carries the title of a declared war criminal, “rehabilitated” the genocidal Ustasha regime. He proposed that the new Croatian coat of arms look similar to the one used by Ustaha’s in WWII. He was even a proponent of renaming streets in Croatia after Ustasha leaders.
Radovan Karadzic, president of the illegitimate Bosnian Serb Republic, joins the other two as a declared war criminal. Bosnian Serbs operated under his leadership but he denied their involvement in the genocide.
The Serbian perpetrators came in primarily through Eastern and Northern Bosnia. The Serb paramilitary units crossed the rivers into Bijeljina and began a campaign of terror. Their use of force, intimidation, and provocation was aimed at partitioning Bosnia and displacing non-Serbs from mixed areas even if Serbs were a minority there. They murdered defenseless civilians and drove the rest from their homes and businesses, which were then looted and destroyed. All sides of the conflict committed the so-called “ethnic cleansing” but the scale and intensity at which the Serbs did it made it a clear genocide against Musims. Serbs were specifically targeting intellectuals, professionals, and political leaders in an attempt to eradicate the Bosnian Muslim culture. The UN Genocide Convention, in its definition of genocide, considers this an integral part of a crime on a specific ethnic group.

I was 6 years old and i pretty much remember it pretty well nice try flanking my argument against me now, that i have shown you the links, sources.

Not qualifying as an expert is not calling someone a liar, just placing the weight of their argument at the bottom of the barrel where it properly belongs

A six year old child does not qualify as an expert on anything, but maybe you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express (if you even get the joke there). Not qualifying as an expert is not calling someone a liar, just placing the weight of their argument at the bottom of the barrel where it properly belongs.
Really so six year old children don't qualify as an expert on anything? then i guess that applies to those children that have been abused by rapists and had to stand in the court telling them how they were raped in front of judges and from what your post is saying that children aren't experts on anything? thats pretty low of sad statement.
To even suggest that.

17 July 2012 / REUTERS, AMMAN Opposition fighters will intensify attacks inside the Syrian capital and target sensitive security installations in what they call an operation to "liberate Damascus", a rebel commander said on Tuesday, after three days of fierce fighting in the city. Colonel Qassem Saadeddine, spokesman of the joint command of the Free Syrian Army inside Syria, told Reuters via Skype that many fighters arrived in Damascus from several provinces 10 days ago to take part in the operation and more would be sent soon.
"There is no going back. The Damascus battle has priority for us. We have started the operation to liberate Damascus," Saadeddine said, adding the rebels had called their operation "Damascus volcano and Syrian earthquake". For three days rebels and government troops have clashed in the streets of Damascus in the fiercest fighting in the capital since the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad erupted last year, but neither side seems to able to deliver a decisive blow.
"This has been planned for some time now. We sent many groups and fighters to Damascus and its suburbs 10 days ago. We have sent at least 50 groups, each with around 50 fighters," Saadeddine said. "We will hit security buildings. There is major coordination between all military councils regarding this. We will not stop, there is no return." A Free Army officer taking part in the fighting in Midan district, the scene of some of the heaviest clashes in the past three days, said the situation was "really excellent".
The officer, who declined to be named, said the fighters were in control of Midan and succeeded in repelling army attempts to break into the neighbourhod. A video uploaded by opposition activists, aired on al-Jazeera television on Monday, showed men in jeans hiding in sandbagged alleyways, firing rocket-propelled grenades and machineguns. The rebels said they were bracing for a conflict that could last a month. Although they lacked ammunition, they said they had enough weapons to hold their ground and were seizing more arms from Assad's forces across the country. Activists' videos showed rebels seizing tanks and armoured vehicles in the city of Talbiseh, north of Homs, on Tuesday.
"Our fighters are already deployed in sensitive areas in Damascus. They went there knowing they will not leave alive. This is the battle, this is our battle," the FSA officer said. "We are in the heart of Damascus, we have our plans, we even have our withdrawal lines and the lines to evacuate the wounded," he said. A third officer said: "I cannot give details but all in all the situation is good, the regime started this battle and we will finish it."
