There is certainly more to it than the number of people killed. No one in the West batted an eye when a million innocents died in Africa when the Hutu tribe massacred the Tutsi tribespeople using machetes.
This certainly smells of some globalist agenda, IMO.

The UN led forces present in country did make an attempt to take action, only to be told by the UN the actions they wanted went beyond their mandate.
So if the US/ West had intervened there it would have been ok? Even without UN approval / mandate?edit on 29-8-2013 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)
There was no "evidence" when they bombed the heck out of Iraq and Afghanistan, on national tv, nonetheless. They don't care. They do as they please, and no one is going to stop them. So, might as well, sit back and enjoy the show.

West uses UN when it suits them and ignores UN when it does not.
UN has no purpose left as wars and civil wars raze in the world everywhere.
It is foolish to talk about UN when Saudi, Qatar and Turkey are actively fomenting civil war in Syria. Did they take UN's permission.
The so called Chechen rebels is nothing but a private army of Saudi king. Did he take UN's permission before fighting in Chechnya against Russia?

USA has been able to arm-twist other nations on many occasions.
What Russia did in Libya is besides the point. Libya was not too important to Russia. It is logical for leaders to give away some to get some elsewhere. It is called diplomacy.
Despite what you people think, Russia or China or India are against anarchy and against nuclear war.
It is USA that is fighting a constant war against other countries.

Even now in Darfur a civil war is going on and it does not even gets a mention in the news. 250K people have already perished and more than 2 million displaced.
However, for Assad to use chemical on people is criminal and there has to be punishment for it. Also punishment for those who are instigating civil war in Syria for last two years. It is a MESS of selfish interests........ NWO agenda and many other objectives.

This is the part of the argument that drives me nuts...
Had the US gone into Darfur we would have been accused of meddling in another countries affairs. When we don't get involved we are accused of not caring about the plight of a certain group of people.
The internal issues in Syria have been going on for 29 months now, and the west stayed out of it until the report of chemical weapon use. Even then our reaction was to supply aid / support.
If people are going to argue its an internal issue, then why are they not calling on Iran and Russia to but out?

Black Africa with poverty in depth does not hold strategic value to the US. Hence what happened in Rwanda and what is happening in Darfur does not matter.
Originally posted by victor7
In Syria, US is very much involved via the proxy bastards like Saudi, Turkey and Kuwait etc.
The sooner Russia and Iran stop sending the supplies is when the civil war will end. Absent that, so long as Russia and Iran are involved in Syria's internal mess, then that door is open to everyone else.

Iran and Russia will be out when arms and finances from pimps stop arriving in Syria and stop creating a civil war.

And I would further add that Assad has learned alot from the fate that Saddam, Gaddahfi met.
Originally posted by victor7
So any 'intervention' type US involvement will see Assad using any and all, short and long distance means to answer back.

Somewhere I read that Assad family which is ruling Syria since 1970 has amassed wealth of more than $122 Billion. Even if this figure is cut by 80%, at 20B Assad can pack a serious nonsense punch on entities that he chooses.

So better US does some pinprick and call it quits to both overt and covert acts at destablizing other countries.

Russia lost $4B worth of weapons orders right up front. Worst, the new government initially refused to pay for any debts Libya had with Russia. Although that is a matter of WTO but losing $4B arms orders was a $12B hit to the Russian economy. $4B of foreign capital would result in 12B as money multiplier is average 3 for growing markets. This does not even include the future prospects in other economic areas. Russia lost big time in Libya and that's why they are adamant of Syria, although Syria is 5 times more important to Russia being the centre of middle east and last known ally in the region.
