I'm not sure what point you're trying to make as I have never been a "liberal" and I have never been for getting involved in civil wars Also I am a left winger with affiliations to no party Now if you have nothing relevant to add, take off Edited November 21, 2011 by olp1fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouverite Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm a neocon, and I'm ready to intervene, though I think Iran deserves our attention first, because it's getting close to getting a nuke. And the current team at the White House are NOT neocons; they're liberal interventionists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boges Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 It would appear people on the Left are cool with Thousands of Civilians being slaughtered in this so called "Arab Spring" as long as it's not white Christians or Jews doing the killing. It's shocking how little press what's happening in Syria gets actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are very left-leaning posters here who, no doubt, still blame Euro-Caucasian Westerners for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the nail on the head with that one. Interesting how silent the left has been on Sudan, Syria, Libya and now trying to revise Ghaddafi into a socialist hero who was misunderstood. Then again they portray Chavez as a wonderful man of the people and on and on and Iran which crushed a popular uprising and continues to torture and imprison thousands of political prisoners a victim of Western imperialism. Well the left is full of sheeyit but we all are. No one seems to mind doing business with China now do they as they continue to slaughter Tibetans and run a slave state with zero human rights. People's republic right. Neither Canada or any other Western nation has stated it will invade on the ground. To suggest they have or would want to because Canada has a ship in the Med sea is dum. Its part of their NATO commitment and yah in the event of a UN intervention of some kind it might help but please one ship invading Syria, give it a rest. Now when they send in Rita McNeil, let me know. She is our secret weapon capable of crushing anyone and anything in her way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Bahrain? There were uprisings there, but the US allowed the Saudis to take care of that. Why? The US has one of their fleets stationed there. You should look into that. Why are we selective in who gets taken down and what country is left to it's own devices. No one is fine with the killing, only idiotic psychopaths want war. These psychopaths are in the Dems, Libs, Neocons, Conservatives, ect ect ect. It's shocking how little press what's happening in Syria gets actually. Actually it's not shocking at all, if you been paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the example in Libya, perhaps the Syrian government might be seriously weighing their options when the threat is placed at their doorstep. At this point, that threat could be motivation enough for them to change their tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been having problems just as long as all the other countries going through this. Why are we suddenly paying attention now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Have any of you REALLY thought about what happens if outside countries get involved in this? There's too many countries that the the nukes and would use them!! I'm also sorry for the people there being killed but millions of people would be killed or main ed for life if a war breaks out, this is NOT a TV movie, this is real. Are Canadians willing to sacrifice more Canadian military lives? You have Israel, Pakistan, India, and maybe Iran with nukes and maybe China. They start throwing around nukes , we won't have to worry about the world's over population! It's time we get people who can use their mouths more than pound their chests and want war.

Shwa Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 It won't. Syria has been in this situation since the Arab Spring started. Syria's human rights record has been brutal for decades. Everyone knows this, but had other stuff to pay attention to. If the regime wants to keep opressing their population like this, we can arm them and let them duke it out and send in planes to support the rebels. They've been having problems just as long as all the other countries going through this. Why are we suddenly paying attention now? Domino effect perhaps. Or perhaps it has something to do with their geographic disposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NATO goes in, it's not for humanitarian aid, or because of their human rights issue. We can't be taking sides in a civil war. And with the Russian war ships off their coast, any attempted bombing run by NATO would be met with force by the Russians. Domino effect perhaps. Or perhaps it has something to do with their geographic disposition. True, it is a domino effect, but it's a planned effect. The west (specifically the UK and the US) have been planning and working to destabilize the Middle East and North Africa for almost a decade now, perhaps longer. None of this stuff happens overnight.

I mean, where were the Russians when Libya was getting bombed? True, it is a domino effect, but it's a planned effect. The west (specifically the UK and the US) have been planning and working to destabilize the Middle East and North Africa for almost a decade now, perhaps longer. None of this stuff happens overnight. Another way of looking at it is from a much larger perspective than a regional one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
