Syria is 74% Sunni

Cruella, The important point is that the government of Syria is Shi'á even if the majority of people are Sunni, This is one reason why we should keep out of the war. Al-Qaedia is Sunni and they support the rebels. As pocketfullshells the Shi'te are also ally of Iran, the West will gain nothing from this war.

Hey, I didn't want us to get involved in Libya and I was against ousting Mubarak, why would I want us to help Syria? You can't help these fifth century cave dwellers, and when you try, they still cut your throat. To hell with them.

I would rather the US start being viewed as the one who helped the people knock down dictators...rather then the ones who prop them up. Also I do so with the understanding that we may not like the first governments picked in Islamic nations with a real right to vote...but the more elections they have...and the more there leaders need to own up to there own people and not just cast blame on the US if they want to keep there job...the more the people can focus on there own leaders and making them fix there problems...

That's quite magical. We helped them get rid of the Shah of Iran....how much did that help them? Are they still loving their elections?

the important point is they have the numbers and the government may well go away. its a temporary situation.

NATO makes plans to back Turkey over Syria spillover

NATO said it had drawn up plans to defend Turkey if necessary should the war in Syria spill over their border again as dozens of people were killed across the Arab nation on Tuesday.

Fighting between Syrian rebels and government forces could be heard from this Turkish border town following on from several days of clashes in the past week. One Syrian villager said a rebel push on the town of Azmarin was expected soon.

In Damascus, rebel suicide bombers struck at an Air Force Intelligence compound used as an interrogation centre - the latest attack to bring the conflict close to President Bashar al-Assad's power base.

US sends forces to Jordan

The United States has sent military troops to the Jordan-Syria border to bolster that country's military capabilities in the event that violence escalates along its border with Syria, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday.

Speaking at a NATO conference of defense ministers in Brussels, Panetta said the U.S. has been working with Jordan to monitor chemical and biological weapons sites in Syria and also to help Jordan deal with refugees pouring over the border from Syria. The troops are also building a headquarters for themselves.

If things get really dicey--just you watch--Obama will saddle up a white horse and pretend to be General Zhukov on Red Square in June, 1945 and "lead" the world into a friggin' nightmare in Syria.

Which is just what Iran wants to happen--Iran wants open general warfare in all of the middle east--and the democrats will feel the nation would back "whoever" is in office in such a time of instability.
Never forget--100,000,000+ died ghastly deaths in the 20th century--in the name of socialist liberalism.

There is nothing these people will not do to get re-elected.
WHY is THAT???

Turkey--interesting they would have forced down a Russian plane--a VERY gutsy move--under any circumstances.
I guess it was over their airspace and jurisdiction. And they had a NATO backup.

The Arab Spring has turned into the Arab Nightmare - this whole ME area is turning into one huge radical Islamic festering cesspool.
