You call them Liberals ?

Our Liberal branch are the rich politicians here, right wing. Labour party are our left.
We also drive on the other side of the road and all hang upside down off the bottom of the Earth as well.
That's what I mean, the concept of political right and left for americans are much different from rest of the world. America was created with the ideals of freedom so they're naturally a rightist state by world standard. Even what they consider left is tame compared elsewhere, their liberals are just about the center by world standard while their progressives is at about the center-left compared to the progressives elsewhere, and for americans they will undoubtedly be classified as reds or communists.

So what the heck am I driving at? Well I've seen the same folks here debating essentially the same issues over and over ever since I came here nearly 10yrs back and still nothing is resolved. Why? the answer is simple, they are ideologically wide apart and they'll never understand each other. It's like trying to mix oil with water...

That's why I said I hate politics. Take the case of this thread's topic, to me it's just a simple case of group of headhunting beasts trying to conquer their part of the world, the heck with oil and what not, I say just nuke 'em... ...I'll take back the nuke part, conventional bomb will do. BTW, is there oil in Syria?
