WASHINGTON — The State Department is urging Americans in Syria to leave the besieged country immediately while commercial transportation is still available. The Syrian government is clamping down on a rebellion in the city of Hama, the center of anti-government activity. Thousands of protesters across the country are marching, demanding solidarity with the people of Hama and demanding the ouster of President Bashar Assad. On Friday, the State Department urged U.S. citizens who must remain in Syria to limit travel and warned U.S. citizens not in the country to avoid traveling there for now.

Ther has never been an Arab or Muslim democracy or republican form of government; so just why do American politicians even bother trying to impose one. The only thing that changes is a worse tyrant takes charge.

Lefties are torn over this....On the one hand thier president is all for the “Arab Spring”...on the other, Syria was their best hope for getting rid of Israel.

...”Damascus has a place in history yet to be revealed”....

Might be a change in leadership will be even more vile....it seems to be the going rage in the ME. But Ka-Boom to Damascus is ahead at some point.

Not to worry, no Arab Spring is about to improve Syria’s stance on Israel.

They want them out because we are going to be starting another war.

Israel is going after Iran in Sept/2011 and we are going to do the same with Syria. We will take out the missiles aimed at Israel in Southern Lebanon too.

Watch for problems/attacks here in the US from supporters/terrorists from the Middle East who wont agree to what we are doing.

World War III has already started and will get ugly later this year.

FDR did the same thing to bring America out of the Depression in the 1930’s and we are following the same script now but with different players.

If you are not putting away food and other needed items you are going to caught with your pants down when you cant get to the store to buy what you need to survive.

When it does get ugly, dont come looking for me to save your butt because you didnt heed the warnings.

Just keep on walking or your last day on earth will be a very bad one.
