You know what this makes me think? This makes me think this is all a charade, it is all fake, the political theater that is. Jesse Ventura said it best when he compared politics to pro wrestling. They act like enemies in front of the cameras, but are best friends behind closed doors. Makes you wonder how deep the agenda and corruption goes.
Well, what do you think? I think it smells!
In a sign that President Barack Obama is seeking better ties, several US congressmen have passed through Syria in the last few days, including Sen.Kerry.
According to the SANA news agency, Assad called for dialogue and told Kerry that America should refrain from dictating its views to others, as such policy "has been proven ineffective."
Kerry said the US would renew diplomacy with Syria but in return expected Syria to "change its behavior" - particularly on Iraq and Lebanon.
"But unlike the Bush administration that believed you could simply tell people what to do and walk away and wait for them to do it, we believe we have to engage in a discussion," Kerry said in Beirut.

Apologies. I see now from the link you provided that it is indeed a Damascus restaurant. However I still fail to understand why this event is worthy of concern.
Kerry, Obama, and others will have dinner with Assad in a couple of years and they'll all laugh together about when they had to stage a media circus and villify him for some globalist financial agenda.

The issue becomes more prevalent when body counts start to rise, then once insignificant issues are pushed to the forefront. Just like Assad has, and how Libya was.
Please note, the above is in no way a validation of evidence suggesting Assad is responsible. Just the image being portrayed in western media.
Yes but it's selective. Has the West done anything in Somalia yet? Isn't that a WAY worse problem?
That's my point. Nothing wrong with having convictions but PLEASE make sure they are your own and not some "bill of goods" sold to you by any part of the MSM.
