And if I were you I would learn a little more about who lives in Syria and just what’s going on, you swallowed the BS about the Shah of Persia, and look who the US handed that country over to.
Every time some lying leftwing marxist-loving adminstration like your disgusting Carter, your Fraud POTUS or Her Thighness tells you there’s a socialist dictator running a country, I would be looking very carefully into the mirror.
You’re close to it. Very close. The US has become a handmaiden and enabler of the United Nations and its 57 muslim member states with their oil-stick.

Innocent women and children? Really? The scum leave them to go off to kill - knowing that the aid agencies will look after them.
A happy arab spring to you.

Did you watch the link to the video I posted? What DO you think happened to those people?

The Shah was our ally. Assad is not.

The Ayatollah supports Assad. If you are on Assad's side then you are on the side of the jihadist Ayatollah.

Hezbollah supports Assad. Jimmy Carter Regrets Not Meeting With Hezbollah - 'Jimmy Carter said Friday he would have been "delighted" to meet with Hezbollah officials during his visit to Lebanon and regretted the militant group's leaders refuse to meet with current or former American presidents.'

Dude, seriously, get your head out of your ass.

This is an account of what’s really happening in Syria, by a nun who lives there. Also been following the Syria news on another site that has a lot of news hounds; Al Qaeda flags are now flying in rebel held areas, and residents in Syria have told of foreign jihadis pouring in to Syria to fight against Assad. It’s a horrible stew.

Media Coverage of Syrian Violence Partial and Untrue, Says Nun
Irish Times ^ | Patsy McGarry

A NUN who has been superior at a Syrian monastery for the past 18 years has warned that media coverage of ongoing violence in that country has been “partial and untrue”. It is “a fake”, Mother Agnes Mariam said, which “hides atrocities committed in the name of liberty and democracy”.

Superior of the Melkite Greek Catholic monastery of St James the Mutilated in Qara, in Syria’s diocese of Homs, which is in full communion with Rome, she left Ireland yesterday after a three-day visit during which she met representatives of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference in Maynooth.

She told The Irish Times she was in Ireland “not to advocate for the (Assad) regime but for the facts”. Most news reports from Syria were “forged, with only one side emphasised”, she said. This also applied to the UN, whose reports were “one-sided and not worthy of that organisation”.

UN observers in Syria had been “moderate with the rebels and covered for them in taking back positions after the withdrawal of heavy equipment, as seen so tragically in Homs”, she said.

When it was put to her this suggested the whole world was out of step except for Syria, Russia and China, she protested: “No, no, there are 20 countries, including some in Latin America” of the same view.

The reason the media was being denied easy access to Syria currently was because in the Libyan conflict journalists placed electronic devices for Nato in rooms used at press conferences in that country, she said. “So Syria didn’t want journalists,” she said.

Christians make up about 10 per cent of Syria’s population, dispersed throughout the country, she said. The Assad regime “does not favour Christians”, she said. “It is a secular regime based on equality for all, even though in the constitution it....
