Mosa you are denying my right to say what i think is true?
Did i insult anyone here?
Mossa he is right. compare what he did to what the other two who started insulting me and started to personally attack me
You can open a new thread about Bahrain "revolution" and I would be happy to show you hundreds of pics and videos that prove protesters truly "peaceful" demonstrations. 35 protesters got killed most of them by Gas inhalation vs 10000+ killed Syrians by artillery shelling and torture. As well as 50000 either hijacked or brutally tortured or imprisoned. Bahraini police use rubber bullets, water and gas to disperse protesters while Syrian army use fatal bullets, tanks, jets, artillery to kill protesters. Nice comparison indeed...
Why dont you simply address the matters I put to you?? as follows:
I have heard the argument about human rights and killings going on in Syria but quite frankly it is very difficult in the fog of civil war or any war to actually get to the truth of the matter.
Let me tell you why I Silko would be more than reluctant to support anyone in Syria
If it is a true revolution and even a significant minority wish to come out on the streets a country is ungovernable. Lets take the example of Pakistan. Our population is reputed to be 180 million people. If just 20% of the people decide that they want to come out on the streets that would be be 36 million. We have one of the largest standing armies in the world, we have our blessed ISI we have nukes. Even with these forces and nukes what could our army do??? Use nukes on our own people?? That would be the end. You will note it does not even require a majority to come on the streets. In practical terms the overwhelming number of people want to have security, a roof on their head and food on the table and could not give a monkey's who runs the country.
Now lets take the example of Libya-The rebels or whatever you want to call them could barely get out of Benghazi even though they were being funded and armed by third parties from outside the country. I am off the firm opinion in hindsight that Gaddaffi was less than wise because I think it is likely he would have done relatively well in any election and he should have attempted to legitamise his rule.
Had it not been for Nato's role in my opinion it is doubtful that the rebels could have succeeded.
Even after intervention we have a very unstable Libya wwith west stealing oil
Now lets look at UK and US in recent months we have had riots and civil disobedience. These disturbances have been dismissed as the actions of criminals and undesirables. If a foreign power was to lets say start supplying weapons and moral support these so called criminals and undesirables what could or would happen??
One mans rebel is another man's criminal and undesirable.
Who decides what the majority in a country wants in Syria?? Who decides that Assad is a dictator and must be removed whilst at the same time ignoring what is happening in Bahrain?? Who decides when to support dissident voices in a country. I mean every country has voices that don't agree with their government.
I could go on but you might get bored but you get the picture I hope.
The best we can do is pray for and hope is that the Syrian people themselves decide with as little bloodshed as possible a conclusion to the unrest.
Under these circumstances We must not take sides in Syria
