3rdnlng Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 kofi, former sec general of u.n. trick question? Oh, that Annan. He is the former Secretary General. If he couldn't do a damn thing (other than enrich himself and alot of others) when he was in charge, why would you expect him to be able to do anything now?

3rdnlng Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Another foreign intervention? Afghanistan, Iraq and now Syria? Let's not mention our help in bringing the Muslim Brotherhood and sharia law to the only somewhat secular states in the Middle East. I wonder if that help in Libya & Egypt encouraged the rebels in Syria? Is Assad a schit and does he deserve a special painful death? Yes, but look out what you ask for. That Shah of Iran was so bad that we now have a regime in Iran that is much more enlightened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Another foreign intervention? how bout arming the insurgents to the level of equivalence? sure, there are problems with this...are they going to be better off with them then the current regime? will they turn on us? dunno, but don't we westerners proclaim our love and support for democracy very loudly and publicly? hasn't this reasoning been recently used by American leaders (especially conservatives) to justify more costly interventions? this seems a measured response to an ongoing massacre. they're laying landmines meant for refugees fleeing the country and shooting into turkish refugee camps. didn't foreign powers help arm our insurgents in our revolution?

meazza Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 will they turn on us? They will probably turn on Israel. this seems a measured response to an ongoing massacre.

I've noticed that liberals generally hate any kind of foreign intervention if a Republican is President but are all for any and all intervention if a Democrat is in office. I'm not trying to be cryptic here, but it would have been nice if that whole U.N. thing worked out? Maybe then we wouldn't have to be the world's policeman.

It's a nice country. Very nice looking women there. i might have meant "my apologies for getting your nationality wrong"...and it is a very nice country.

And that would prolong the conflict and kill and maim a lot more people. If the goal is regime change, then use your power to effect it ASAP.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 John McCain and Joseph Lieberman have already called for arming Syria's rebels, in statements last month from the U.S. Senate where they serve. But they repeated their demand in more dramatic fashion Tuesday — from a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey and with violence unabated, as the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad disregarded the UN plan that was to have silenced the Syrian Army's guns Tuesday morning. The two senators joined a growing international chorus of voices finding that the unimplemented plan, brokered by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, is simply allowing the Assad regime to continue its oppression. --- like we need to waste MILLIONS more on arming another nation. Like we need another Operation Fast and Furious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
