Where is America getting ready to attack Iran? I haven't seen any change in our FPCON that normally precedes an attack.
Why should we help any other country that isn't willing to throw off the chains of tyranny themselves? We get called warmongers whenever we try and help.

You can never win with some people. Shame too US can do quite a bit of good.
Why do we have to go around the world 'saving' everyone. Can we stop spending money on wars, we have more important issues like health, education, the economy...And America is getting ready to attack Iran? Bashar is going to get it just like ghadaffi did....

Are you joking? The American left still called us warmongers when we helped liberate Libya.
Apparently not enough.

And "I" am not watching people die, "I" can't be bothered to care.. there's nothing "I" can do to fix their issues anyway, and my nation has it's own issues.
It may seem cold, but reality cried wolf a long time ago, and I grew up and stopped worrying about it. There will always be heinous crimescommitted so long as humans exist.

Hey, I'm just telling you what our leaders hear whenever we get cries of help.
The fact of the matter is, though, that while I agree with liberation on a personal level, I don't think the Middle East can be liberated without causing more harm than good in terms of American national security.
It seems to me Syria is preparing for another Hama massacre. Last time 40 00 were killed. This is the anniversary of the Hama massacre

i dont know why theyre doing this...its against all their interests; they are just forcing the international community to act sooner and harder. Assad just signed his death sentance todayThirty years ago, Hama. Now, Homs. What a disgraceful and disgustingly brutal dynasty the Assads are.

The international community will not be able to act, at least not meaningfully. Not with all of these budget problems, military cuts, and Syria's powerful allies. They (FSA and the larger opposition movement) are on their own.

[QUOTE="leviathan91"]as do I, in Damascus and LatakiaI have family there. I hope they're okay.
BossPerson
All of them are located in Aleppo. I believe some of my family support the current president. Then again, if you're Christian in a Muslim country where the leader allows them religious freedom, why not support the current president? It's a gamble to side with the rebels and protesters. It's either total freedom or just another Arabic country with Sharia Law where non-Muslims are persecuted.

That's not the American Left, that's the Leftist equivalent to the Tea Party. I vote for the Green Party of Canada, and I think people who say that the UN was wrong to step in with Libya are crazy. I had a friend who thought they were just warmongers and looking for oil, etc. It's all about lack of education and understanding.[QUOTE="airshocker"][QUOTE="BossPerson"]you were treated as heroes when you helped Libya.

What a load of utter hogwash. Christians are well respected and have full religious freedom all over the middle east.IMO I think the Westerners (Europe and the US) should leave them alone. It's their problem. Going over there to solve their problems is a waste of money. If it's a problem for us, then yes, take action.
And yet NATO rushed in head first into Libya, now I'm not a politician, but the western leaders were just worried about Oil and filling their pockets. Gadaffi knew that these guys are after the oil, they terminated him. If they were worried about 'protecting the civilians' then why not go to Syria, are they not humans like the Libyans?IMO I think the Westerners (Europe and the US) should leave them alone. It's their problem. Going over there to solve their problems is a waste of money. If it's a problem for us, then yes, take action.
willzthegamer
well if the US really cared about it's public image (the self portrait on how important human rights is to them),it would have to be more serious towards syrian regime.i'd personally support a military intervention aswell because i didn't think syrian people would ever succeed without it and the whole thing would turn into a war of attrition which of course would cause more damage than a NATO intervention.oh and with syrian regime gone our government(iran) would lose it's most reliable ally which would left it needless to say, vulnerable.
What the ***** is going on the middle east, seriously they kill each other every single freaking day, cant they just live in peace? I mean COME THE **** ON.

What a load of utter hogwash. Christians are well respected and have full religious freedom all over the middle east.You're kidding me, right? Even with when the Americans assisted in helping Iraq rebuild, Christians were persecuted and there was no protection from Islamic extremists. During the Iranian revolution, the same situtation occured - Iranian Christians were persecuted and driven out during the 70s. Saudi Arabia doesn't even recognized freedom of religion for anyone and continue persecution of Christians. It's prevelant in the Middle East, despite of some tolerant Muslims. The excpetion is Jordan and Lebanon, however.
Face it, non-Muslims are persecuted and harassed by the government authority and with this Syrian revolution, what will be the difference? As much as I want all countries to experience freedom and liberty, unfortunately a rebellion doesn't always lead to that. My prediction is that Syrian will become just another typical Islamist state and that's the last thing this world needs.
