the syrians who

are stuck in the war zone, I cannot express how angry I feel, when I see bombs being dropped on these people.

terrible situation right now in syria...  :'(

It's horrible, I know... I wish there was more I could do, but the best I can do is raise my voice and speak my mind in hopes it changes other people's minds... in hopes that maybe our collection of voices reach the governors and politicians in office which will help change their minds. The refugees are not bad people.

in Afghanistan  the talibans and alquida was the threat , all of a sudden isis is now the threat in syria;? how ?

ISIS are al qaeda version 2. They are like al qeada on steroids. You know the world is messed up when people are praising al qaeda for criticizing ISIS on being too extreme.

Aren't we all celebrating the Arab spring? Or the spring has sprung???

Careful what you wish for...you may just get it! Assad’s Syria was swept up in the euphoria of the Arab spring. We saw rulers overthrown in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Tunisia, where the revolution really begun. Then the stalemate in Bahrain and Syria, which continues until today. The protests extended to several other countries.


Let’s recap who the players are.

United States is backing the rebels, primarily Sunnis, fighting to overthrow Assad. The U.S. is providing support to rebels trying to overthrow Assad. US is part of a coalition bombing ISIS.

France is part of the coalition also, attacking ISIS.

Britain is part of the coalition attacking ISIS.

Russia is supporting Assad, and is bombing the rebels and ISIS.

Saudi Arabia is backing Sunni rebels fighting Assad.

Iran is supporting Assad. Iran bombs ISIS and rebels.

Turkey is part of the coalition bombing ISIS.

Qatar has been supporting the rebels. They are the joker in the pack.

send some of those to GT

The question is: Who are we angry at, and why? Are we just flustering ourselves?
