Syria getting bad

OT -- for some reason every time I see this thread title I read "Sylvia getting bad." I didn't realize it was a clue to her having a heart attack. I'm psychic.
 
Al Qaeda has said that the revolution in Libya would be good for starting an Islamic government.

Why can't Syria be just the same story?
 
After supporting Ghaddafi, Hugo Chavez now praises the terrorist-sponsoring Basshar Assad as a "humanist" and "brother". Says America is behind the protests.

"Now some supposed political protest movements have begun (in Syria), a few deaths ... and now they are accusing the president of killing his people and later the Yankees will come to bomb the people to save them," Mr Chavez said in a televised speech.

That sound you hear is Chavez's last shreds of creditbility vanishing.
I note that the supporters he used to have on this board are pretty quiet.

Working class heros come and go. They will patiently await their next prospective Messiah.
 
Heard Secretary of State Clinton on the news about a half hour ago.

She pointed out that Syria and Libya are very different issues, though both are distressing. In Syria, what she says we are seeing is that the police are going overboard in responding to social unrest, which while regrettable, isn't quite the problem that using the Army and Air Force on one's own citizens is.

She made the distinction, which may play well in the US, due to our making important distinctions between the role of the police and the role of the army. Such distinctions are not made in many countries, however, though they are in the case of most of our allies.

Is this distinction valid?

She also pointed out that in Egypt, in Tunisia, and now in Syria, the Arab League has not asked for outside assistance. That point hit home with more ommph, for me, since it points to Colonel Khadaffi (spell as you like) being ostracized in the Arab world. (Message being ... "he's too big of an a-hole for even the likes of us to put up with." )

Lesson for the average autocrat: be careful who you piss off, it can cost you.

Forgetting for the moment that Assad very likly had everything to do with Hariri’s assassinationin Lebanon: he is an ally of Iran, supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza. He tried building a secret nuclear-weapons site a few years back. His government has given shelter to terrorists operating in Iraq against US and coalition troops and he is a known sponsor of terrorists.

So the fact that *you* reduce that to some point about Israel says more about you than Virus, frankly.
