Do you support the arming of Syrian 'rebels'?

[El Kabong]

The rebels and the Assad regime are no different and they are in a true to life "Civil War" and they should settle it themselves....let them make up their own minds about how to run a country and if they end up doing it wrong we'll slap the shit out of them until they learn to play nice.


I'm not worried how many Syrians get killed....nobody worried about Rwanda or Sudan why is Syria different?

[El Kabong]

Syrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda





.....naaaaaah I'm just kidding, I'm not shocked at all

[Dia bando]

Trouble is you don't no who your arming, freedom fighter rebel friend today, enemy tomorrow,!
best stay out of it.!!!!!!!!

True Dia Bando and as Robert Fisk observes, the guns are only going to get into the hands of people who would nothing more than to one day blow up America. It is a daft move on the part of the US and the UK and it has nothing to do with us. We don't have the ability to determine who the correct side is. We are also hypocrites as we ignore the rebels being crushed in Bahrain, the Palestinians looking for justice, and yet readily arm a genuine unknown quantity. It will bite us on the arse later on as this war is going to infect far more than Syria now and the sad thing is that almost everybody in the West seems to be against getting involved. General populations are ignored and the pretence at Western democracy is once again shown as an all too obvious hoax.

As the US wants to arm 'nice Syrian rebels' we must remind ourselves that weapons are not just guns. They are about money - Comment - Voices - The Independent

Miles has a valid point, the West has cocked up to many times the Middle East, has proven to be
a bed of hot coals, we put in a puppet leader and he turns out to be a bigger shit than then one's you
got rid of.!. What works for US the West , in my eyes is totally unsuitable for the Middle East far to
complicated, by just changing leadership in a Country.
May be this time lets keep, our noses and guns to ourselves.!!!!!!!!!!
