Just so. Frankly,
I’m amazed that Obama has done the right thing and kept out of it, except for funneling in weapons, but maybe even Obama knows better than to get HIMSELF involved in that mess.
And he can’t get our country involved in it without involving himself. Let’s just hope he continues to stay out of it.
What about when they shoot first?
“What about when they shoot first?”
Happens all the time in the states. People protest or otherwise instigate a reaction from authorities. They get that reaction, sometimes losing their lives doing it. But do those people then acquire heavy weapons and start seizing cities? Not in the US - but if they did, I can PROMISE YOU the reaction here would not be much different than how the Syrian government reacted.
In other words, this is high stakes stuff, and the protesters/rebels knew it going in.
Don’t worry. No oil, no ground troops.
It’s all Face Book’s fault. If it hadn’t been for Facebook, there would have been no Arab Spring, hence no Syrian revolt. We need stricter social networking control. Thousands have died because of Facebook, often without even using guns. Guns don’t kill people, Facebook kills people.
“It’s all Face Book’s fault. If it hadn’t been for Facebook, there would have been no Arab Spring, hence no Syrian revolt.”
I agree. It was a fatal mistake of those governments to miss the electronic revolution. Now MILLIONS are displaced, hundreds of thousands are DEAD, and hundreds of women have lost their freedom. If only they blocked that crap - whoops.
I’m reminded of the cheers when Assad’s forces whacked an American allegedly fighting with the rebels.
If only they had monitored the sites and hacked the personal user information, they could have found the inciters and quietly killed them, and everything would have been just fine. Luckily for America, the government has wisely decided to obtain Verizon’s database./s
