Hi David G.

You must be a left winger because hysterical hatred of the USA is an identifying characteristic of trendy lefties. A right winger who hated the USA is about as rare as a Muslim who believes in peace and tolerance.

And Arjay, the Ivans would never dare attack Saudi Arabia because the even a drop kick like Obama would have no hesitation in declaring war on Russia if they did. Ask Saddam Hussein if threatening the Saudis is a good idea.

Just in case you haven't noticed, Russian made military equipment makes great targets for western weaponry. Every time a Russian tank commander sees a US M1A1 Abrahms tank he orders more vodka. And every time some schmuck driving a Russian fighter plane goes up against a US fighter plane he thinks that he is trying to shoot down a flying saucer.

This video proves that the war on Syria is a lie. General Wesley Clarke was the supreme commander of NATO in the late 1990's.In a private conversation with a general of the Joint Chiefs of staff just a few weeks after 911 he reveals the real truth. The USA was going to invade 7 countries in 5 yrs. This included Irag, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSNyPS0fXpU

Just last week a real patriot of the 911 truth movement died. Lt Col Robert Bowman had PHD's in nuclear physics, aeronautics, taught mathematics and was in charge of NASA's Advanced Space Programs.http://patriotsquestion911.com/

Our leaders and their criminal cabals are nothing compared to Robert Bowman. He should have been the President of the USA and led us out of this oppression.

The nonsense espoused by the likes of LEGO and Loudmouth brings shame on our humanity.

But why attack Syria? If, as many suspect, the chemical weapons are a false flag, in whose favour is that flag flying?
And then we learn that Genie Israel Oil and Gas, Ltd. has been granted an exclusive petroleum exploration license covering 396.5 square kilometres in the southern portion of the Golan Heights.

This newly discovered development is being bought to you by Bibi Obama and the Cruise Missile Bruisers, aka the shareholders in Genie Energy who include Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch and Lord Jacob Rothschild.
This just keeps getting better and better.

Arjay,

"The nonsense espoused by the likes of LEGO and Loudmouth brings shame on our humanity."

Loudmouth doesn't appear to have contributed to this thread thus far.

?

Poirot, In ref to Loudmouth I'm talking about his many unedifying posts on similar topics of which I'm sure you've read just recently.

There will have to come a time when there is no more war, no more conflict, no more aggression or oppression, but we have unfortunately not yet reached that idyllic state, and are in fact eons away from it.

But surely we are at a stage in human history where such an objective has to be seriously considered, and the possible means of achieving this. The world simply cannot go on with 'business as usual' - given where this has brought us, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt and now Syria (and not forgetting the Congo, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Sudan, etc, etc, and even Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and North Korea).

So many vectors are operating to mitigate against permanent peaceful cooperation and coexistence. Where to start? And, how to start?
Shooting the cr@p out of one another is no solution, but nor is the likes of Saddam or Bashir, or Mugabe or Kim, or Kuny, or so many others of questionable character (and intention).

Not only do we have oppression and inequity/disparity, plus multitudes of corruption, but we have to contend with seemingly insurmountable political and religious divides, and, superimposed on all of this we have gross individual and nationalistic greed, covetousness and super-ambition in many quarters.

How can the 'meek' ever be expected to inherit the Earth in such circumstances? Only perhaps by a total re-think of what is really important in the longer term. Only by a genuine and all-encompassing United Nations and a genuinely fully representative Security Council but with no 'veto' powers - it's all in, or it's not on.

Deposing potentates has not worked well in Iraq, Libya or Egypt, so why should we expect it to work elsewhere?
Can the genuine offering of the olive branch, with masses of genuine and debt-free developmental aid be the solution - with the only 'strings' attached being a genuine commitment to the objectives and directives of the new and improved UN?

If there is a better way, we should all be very pleased to hear about it.
