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.

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...

for a country that claims to be a beacon of hope for the world and that claims to stand with the plight of democracy, watching thousands of people die is an awfully cowardly thing to do

It's not cowardice, it's reality... we don't have infinite money, we can't police the world. People die everyday to so many different things...

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.

The UN Security Council is meeting tomorrow to discuss it and vote on resolutions. I'm sure something will be done soon by some of the members, although I expect it will be similar to Libya (US stays mostly out of it).

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.

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.

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.

I honestly wonder what the Arab League is actually doing about this. I also don't see why Western powers need to get involved, especially since our intervention is always criticised anyway - and may not even be effective. What's going to happen to Libya for example? If the Muslim Brotherhood takes over, and a war with Iran seems ever so likely... I just don't even want to think about it to be honest.

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?

THE UNSC had a resolution to deal with Syria, Russia and China vetoed it. Only 2 members to vote no as I believe even Pakistan supported it. No shock there. Russia militarily backs Syria. Russia has a navy base there that has been renovated, they also use that to create perm presence in the Mediterranean region and a launching pad to joint military exercises with Venezuela.

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.

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.

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.

You're kidding me, right? During the Iranian revolution, the same situtation occured - Iranian Christians were persecuted and driven out during the 70s. .
