It seems the interest of European leaders is far from diplomacy, why are NATO countries resentful of diplomatic moves? It seems strange that Syria would commit such a heinous crime in front of the U.N observers that they invited into the country. We need to investigate the agenda of the government and opposition forces and determine what objectives each side is working towards. 
 
There are several points to consider: 
1. The BBC's fabrication of evidence.  
2. According to Ban Ki Moon the massacre occurred in an area "outside of the government control".  
3. Some of the victims were beheaded; unusual method for a conventional armed force.  
4. Artillery fire was also available to the opposition.  
5. If 20% were killed by artillery fire, how could they be found with those that were executed without having been moved? It is inconsistent with a massacre scenario. 
6. The Syrian government had no motive for this act which would have potentially invited military intervention, sectarian violence and destroyed any moral legitimacy for peace. 
 
Wh y would the government jeopardise their regime? It doesnt make any sense. The BBC seem to be having a field day with this, first it was the government, now its militia. This is a despicable crime against humanity, there should be an immediate investigation to find those responsible. Shah Sher

An AMERICAN made documentary well researched well presented and produced, and WELL worth watching is "Missing Links" The ultimate truth about 9/11. Only those who be bothered to watch it have the right to comment on it, but those comments should be on specifics. While your at it everything thats happening just now in Syria can be observed by watching "Operation Ajax" It was Iran then. 1953. The players were different but the games the same.

        These are some of the reasoms we mourn the dissolution of the Soviet Union! A small mouse like Qatar has become an over-bearing nuisance and seeks to destroy a fellow Arab neighbour because it had become so fat and is restless! During Soviet times, it would have been a good job delegated to the loyal Bulgaria! The Qatari Royal family is indulging. Why can't I cause some mischief?

At least for the present, I think it would be better to stay in USA and fight against the US-UK-Israel system of power, the modern equivalent to the axis Berlin-Rome-Tokyo of 1939-1945, although much more sophisticated.

It's clear: Islamic fachists commited the massacre in Hula, and they are supported by Turkey, Saudia-Arabia, the US and France amongst others: One delivers weaponry, one terrorists, one directs terrorists and weapons, and then one menaces the Syrian people about going to war against their government. But the truth is out and the "movie" has been exposed!

Channel 4 News broadcast in the United Kingdom sent in journalists to Houla yesterday - the first journalists to report from the town where the massacre was commited, it would appear according survivors whose stories were corroborated by many different people across the town (Unlike RT Channel 4 News is a serious broadcaster with journalistic integrity and proper editorial judgement) it would appear to be commited by nearby villagers meaning there is now a sectarian element to this conflict - whether they were allowed/encouraged by the government I don't know but something has to be done to stop this murder & extreme violence

westpreuße (unregistered) wrote in #8 The clown Rupert from the UN says: "We are asking for an investigation. I don’t say we are certain...".The western media and political leadership seems to be quite certain, however. They expelled their Syrian ambassadors en masse. I wonder how they arrived at their conclusion. Do they have more and better information than the UN body responsible for collecting such information? If so, why do they hide this information?I have the feeling that the western media and government are not anylonger seperable entities. And I am not sure wether they ever were. They seem to form a symbiotic complex in which one side feeds from the other. Journalists keep their heads low and go along with the politically correct line of coverage. If they do not take a stance which is beneficial to the governmental agenda they are finished. They need to look for a new job as a taxi driver or something. IN REPLY: Hello my friend. I agree entirely with what you say.

The opinion of the opposition matters only for the war mongering morons! The UN observers' investigations based on the opposition respondents MUST NOT BE TRUSTED.  In the world criminal practice - do they question only criminals to conclude the investigation of the crime,  or do only criminals have the presumption of innocence?  This is nonsense!  The US and its NATO allies gang down on Syria to gang down Iran to take over the Middle East Oil resources. Next they will gang down Russia and China who stand strong against the US bankers.  The bankers hand in hand with the US military complex and the government do not conceal their tactics of lies, fabrications, fear, murders, and terror.  Russia and China should immediately consolidate forces and move against the foe that want to destroy them one by one to eventually reign in the world.  It is as clear as a day that the US greedy war mongers have no conscience, no honor. They can be compared only to the fascists. They are psychopaths who have no brakes to get what they want.  They want to rule in then world???!!!  RUSSIA IS THE ONLY POWER THAT CAN OPPOSE them AND CAN CONSOLIDATE THE WORLD FORCES AGAINST THE WORLD FOE - THE GREEDY, THE CRAZY FOR POWER ! The illuminati conspiracy theory is coming to light now as NOT a theory any more, but as the truth about which American director Aaron Russo told the world a few years ago in his incredible last interview with Alex Jones. after which Aaron was murdered for exposing the truth.  Thank you Aaron!  You are a servant of the Lord!  You stood for the Truth!  The whole world is at risk now to lose freedom to the US psychopaths to become their slaves. The plague of war and slavery is again forced unto the world!  LET'S STAND TOGETHER AND FIGHT IT WITH ALL WE CAN!  WE CAN OVERCOME THIS FOE TOGETHER AND UNITED!  LETS's fight it in the name of LoVE, Kindness and Peace, in the name of sisterhood and brotherhood in which we should live in the world!  Let's come together, brothers and sisters, let's unite, let's speak out, let's be heard!!!

Leaving is not going to help . Supporting any real politicians who have chosen to really serve his country and not to be served, is the right thing to do. A movement to end the occupation of US and NATO ,military bases in foreign countries will be a good start.  But also to request real investigation to any conflict were they have been involved. About civilians casualties and which companies profits from those wars. but also to request to be sent to justice all leaders who mislead the world into going to those wars.  RonPaul might or might not stay in the end in the elections  ,but his message really awakened many in the west and europe too.  He is just the start of a new wave of thinking  .So  there is hope.

From day one,  militants received full support, nice press and complete cover-up of their attrocities.   This has now moved to another level.   Now, if anyone can explain --- not trying to be "cinical" only sceptical ---  how on earth could have this supposedly "government" militia enter the village?  The entire village was under the control of the Free Syria militants.   Unless they parachuted in the middle of the night,  killed the people in COMPLETE SILENCE --- so that the militia could not hear anything going on -- and then sneak out of the village without anyone noticing them?    The whole story is riduculous.   But what does make sense is the following.   Free Syria militant leadership visited Kosovo just a month ago.  It was reported on RTV.  It was clear then that the only reason was to plan another RACHAK--- the massacre of Albanian village supposedly committed by the Government.   Same scenario.  Government forces were shelling the area a day before.  But suddenly, there were all these people found dead --- all killed at close range.   And later, independent forensic showed that the victims were actually moved to this site, having been killed elsewhere.   These people were killed by KLA, the Kosovo Liberation Army --- as they could not have been killed by the army shelling in the area. And the event was used for justifying bombing of Yugoslavia without the decision by the Security Council.  And even when Resolution 1244 was passed following NATO occupation of Kosovo --- soon the Resolution became dead piece of paper when NATO countries sponsored (wrote the Constitution and othe papers)  the "independence" of Kosovo.  The place is still nominally ruled by the same crime families that morphed into "liberators",  with actual rule by NATO.  Kosovo operations showed how NATO can act outside UN, in the name of "humanitarian" goal to "protect" the population.  It also showed that the best people to run such occupied territories are crime gangs and crime families.  All attempts to prosecute KLA crimes failed.  They were swiftly swept under the rug by NATO countries --- and witnesses that received protection in various countries --- killed.
