Do you support the arming of Syrian 'rebels'?

[Beanz]

I am not suggesting arming the rebels, but Lyle you too are oversimplifying the situation. It's a bit of jump to suggest that all the rebels are crushed civilians pushing for a democracy, just as it not true to assume that they are all Islamic extremists with visions of a more hardcore regime than Assads. A Government is killing it's own civilians and outside influences are helping them do it. There is where pressure should be applied, diplomatically.

Uh huh, just like it was in Sudan and Rwanda? I mean come on if everybody is going to start sticking noses in other peoples business then you best do it for everyone.

The rebels have been accused of using chemical weapons too
