Thats a top, top post SilkY, if we did one for every country it would be like having an encyclopaedia on here.

Its only a pity you didn't think of a printed version of it 250 years ago, which incidentally is where Syria is unfortunately heading back to

I am sure posters on here have been keeping up to date on developments in Syria, Zionist illegal occupation of the south & now an Alawite insurgency against the ruling interim gvt causing widespread death the result of which the Islamists committed many crimes also the Druze & Kurds refuse to accept interim gvt authority & lay down their arms. This was all foretold but Western leaders are complicit in this.

Massacring civilians to bate the band.

They will be moving in to remove this latest brand of ISIS before too long.

Assad was a tyrant. Strange that you support him.

Or maybe not.

Bush & Blair are war criminals.

 

[Dr. Aaoouh]

Bush & Blair are war criminals.

So you think that because Bush and Blair are criminals (and they are) it’s all right for Assad to by a tyrant and for you to continue to support them?

Rather amoral of you, don’t you think?

The creation of ISIS in the region was because of the invasion of Iraq which destabilised the region I am sure you laugh at this comment too.

No. I just laugh at the nonsense posts. But you do provide a massive number of them.

Your problem here is that Assad and his father significantly pre-dates ISIS. Nice try, though.
