He who pays the piper calls the tune.  The U.S. gave favorable trade deals to South Korea.   Of course, they are screwing other "friends" over but what does it matter?  Look what the US does to its own people.  They raided the public pension fund.   Young people in the cities have no hope and are killing each other.

What an irresponsible statement is this "the Syrian government has lost all legimacy" in the face of Kofi Annan who accused third parties for the mascres perpetrated by "terrorists" and of Russia and China. This statement de-facto kills Annan's plan because it states that there is only one legitimate party, the US proxi terror squads conveniently dubbed "opposition." Who is this Ban Ki Moon after all? Is he the representative all the nations of the world, or a PRO for the US evil empire? What will Russia and China do now? Will issue a joint strong statement against Ban Ki Moon's irresponsible words calling on him to retract what he said to save Annan's plan which calls upon the Syrian legitimate government and the opposition to engage in dialogue, or will they stay quiet, letting the opposition repeaf ad-nauseam Ban Ki Moon's words to reject all dialogue with the Syrian government, and using his words as justification to escalate their violence and terror against the Syrian people?

If the USS Liberty false flaggers could carry out 911  in the heart of America, what are a few Shia women and children in some remote Syrian village. We know who did that, same finger;prints: http://www.presstv.i r/detail/2012/06/08/ 245202/us-covered-up -israel-attack-on-us s-liberty/

Bianca, you sound pi**ed.. . How old are you?You tell the Truth, but so what? Nobody cares to hear it; you must have the means to force your version of 'the truth' down the sheep's throat, and they'll happily swallow it - this has been the case and will always be the case. Perhaps it is just our education that has misled us: after all we're the top of the food chain.., and you don't get there by being nice now, do you?You want to be logical? Fine: the last place in the world the UN belongs to is the US. It belongs to Asia, where more than half of humanity lives; if you ask me it belongs probably to Nepal - between the two largest countries in the world (yet not in any of two, where local interest could put world issues in jepardy). Logically too, China and Russia must send their fleets to Syria and issue a statement to US, UK and France that any attack on Syria will be considered as an attack on them: we all know what this means, but perhaps quick death is better than the slow torture free humanity has to go through right now.

It's Ban Ki Moon who has lost legitimacy being Secretary General of the UN. His speach is in breach of the Charter of the United Nation. He should be sanctioned and removed from the office of Secretary General. He has  illegally join forces with the US Clinton among others critizing Assaz and asking for regime change. Ban Ki Moon is nothing less than .... crook on the international podium.

AFRICABOY,  it is all about tartous.  Tartous is russia's only port on med sea.  90% of Syria common people hate soviet almost as much as Israel.  maybe more since last 14 months.  their only hope to keep tartous is an alawite regime with absolute power.  Even an alawite regime transitioning to democracy will mean an end to their base and unpaid bills for weapons.  Soviet government never was one to cry over a few million dead people.  Stalin is one of greatest mass murdersd in all of humna history.  he made mongols look nice.

I think it's more a case of "pot calling the kettle black" when Ban Ki-moon speaks as far as lost legitimacy is concerned, since all his lies about Iran in the recent IAEA report and their developments towards nukes; bringing up that old laptop with plans on it when no one outside the US has even seen it, just stinks.

If this guy says the earth is square, I guess you'd believe him to?  I mean he's a legit-guy right?  No free-mason could ever lie.
