‘Foreign military intervention – threat to freedom’ – Syrian opposition

January 19, 2012 06:39

With the EU preparing fresh sanctions against Syria, Russia says it will block any UN Security Council move to authorize military intervention in the country. It insists that dialogue is the only way out of the ongoing violence.

Penny collectors (paid posters here) for today are IMHO the following:John Ellis by trying to build support for the "Syrian" opposi tion through envy of the "intelligent" over material things The Monk by trying to discredit Russia and China by painting a picture of a lack of moral integrity whereas in contrast the military acts of the US and pack are supposed to be seen as the sign of moral integrity...

In the USA during the beginning of the 20th century, there was a political party named the Do Nothings. Their platform was no matter how bad something is...doing something would only make things worse. Today, Russia and China are ruled by remenents of the Do Nothings. Do nothing with the Syrian situation, do nothing in Libya, do nothing with N. Korea, do nothing with the Iranian situation. So...it is better to let people die in Syria and N. Korea. It is better to let Iran become a nuclear power. It was better to let that despot Gaddafi rule in Lybia. No sense of moral obligation. Just whats in it for me attitude.

People rights = Property rights = Peace on earth President Assad represents the 25% most wealthy in Syria, while the Opposition Party represents the 25% intelligent middle-class. Whereas, no one represents my slow and careful thinking 50% laboring-class. Which is most typical throughout the world and throughout history, for be it a dictatorship or democracy, the 50% most educated and wealthy always rule society. So, what would happen if the 25% most wealthy were bared from voting and bared from all politics? Would that not give the impoverished lower half of society half the vote and half the control? You would still have the 25% most wealthy owning business and ruling over business, you would have people rights equaling property rights and a quantum leap toward peace on earth

“We refuse on principle any type of military foreign intervention because it threatens the freedom of our country,” said Hassan Abdul Azim, head of the Syrian opposition bloc National Coordination Committee." Wise words. Let's
see dids...

SYRIA --- FOUR CLASS SOCIETY Virtually everyone feels they deserve to be all they can be, so they take all that government will allow, which is why everyone wants control of government. So, my slow and careful thinking laboring-class wants a living wage and decent housing. The intelligent middle-class wants high quality education, great jobs and terrific homes. The Country Club-class wants executive jobs, luxurious homes and fabulous vacations. Rich ruling-class wants 80% of the wealth, fabulous mansions and a High Society where they can socialize with their class and be glorified.

Always by  using the pretext to protect civilians,  when in fact the U.S.  is the only country,  which has been killing hundreds of millions of civilians around the world throughout the human history

Demonstrations which we can see in Sara's report took place in Kiswe, not Damaskus. Please, check your titles.
