I was listening to a lengthy story on Syria on NPR by a Boston affiliate last night. They were appalled at how the world doesn’t seem to care about the brutality going on. Interestingly, when people called in, the consensus seemed to be along the lines of “not our circus. Not our monkeys.”

A few of them pointed out that Assad is fighting Islam and more power to him.

I’ve always thought the phrase “moderate rebals” is an oxymoron. Moderates don’t rebel.

Maybe you can help me understand something here; why exactly are we against Assad? Please don't say that he's against Israel or the like because everybody is against Israel and, besides, he's not fighting Israel in this war.

Shouldn't we be on the side of whoever's against Al Qaida/ISIS?

A concerted effort was being made on Twitter when the Berlin news broke. The left was hitting the twittersphere with, how ironic, you pray for Berlin but not Aleppo, and what about the 400,000 killed in Aleppo by Russians and the US... and on and on.

We must continue to crush the left.

The war in Syria is the MSM’s war and they purposefully show all its brutality because of that.
