Syria is not USA's matter. It is unfortunate that USA wants to interfere in an old Shia/Sunni dispute.
This dispute is reflected into inhuman violence in Iraq and Syria now (and do not forget Pakistan which is seeing anti-Shia pogroms).
What does USA gain from killing Shias???? Is this a democratic ideal to kill a whole community?

It seems to me that Assad is trying to move the goalposts - and maybe succeeding.
This whole situation is about what is happening in Syria yet he appears to be trying to turn it into a Middle East in general issue.
The facts are that both sides of this essentially Sunni / Shia dispute are committing atrocities and the priority has to be to stop the killing of innocents, regardless of whether it's by bullets or chemicals.
Assad is using classic deflection tactics by trying to drag Israel, Saudi Arabia and all the other Middle East countries into the equation.

As for arab spring yes it was all staged by nato(the ptb) and spread like wildfire. What doesn't make sense is why nato likes sunni fundamentalists and hates shiite fundamentalists. Any religious fanatic is always a dangerous person for himself and others. Why would nato, that had england, spain, usa supposedly attacked by alqueda, then turn around and give weapons to muslim fundamentalists to overthrow secular presidents?

For a little dog, he's barking more than I would presume he would... The next couple of days will definately be interesting.

Assad could copy Saudi Arabia, and release all the prisoners from jail in exchange that they seek asylum in Europe and North America, they do whatever they can do.
As for Isreal destroying WMD's...... not gonna happen
Enemies on every corner get real Assad

Yes, apparently clear as day to everyone but the people on this thread. He's demanding Israel get rid of chemicals weapons, when he's the only one using them. He's just creating diversions to give his sorry ass more time. Some of you seem to have forgotten he has killed 100,000 Syrians in the last few years.edit on 9/14/2013 by BellaSabre because: (no reason given)
