It seems that nothing will stop the United States from getting everything it wants.  During America's early history, it took the west from the native people, through deceit and corporate interests backed by military power.  Since then, nothing has changed.

Why so many negatives? 20.04.2012 19:19

The warmongering zionist and neocon supporters are busy clicking on the negative buttons on all comments they feel threatened by. The truth must hurt!

The more I read, understand and act on THE MESSAGE, the more I become aware of the delusion of this world. Don’t trust or believe anyone but rather put some efforts and READ yourself.

I suggest all countries who are sick to death of  Zionist influences, ignore this latest appeal by the USA and tell them where to stick their sanctions. This administration is obviously carrying out orders from someone with a hold on their democrasay. It would appear that the Washington Administration are hell bent on punishing innocent people, who are opposed to their agenda. It has to stop and only the stupid puppets in the UN need to say enough is enough and refuse any policies forwarded by the USA. It is obvious the lobbyist in Israel, seem to have a stronghold on the UN and some of the big nations. It makes me wonder if this higher regime, whoever they are, are acting on the speech of Menachem Begin, who stated obscenities and racism in his speech to Knessetin 1982. Who ever they are, I'm sure their master plan will fail, because human devine right will prosper over this evil.

Nothing short of regime change in order to instal a US/NATO/Israel friendly puppet will be acceptable to the warmongers in the West and their Arab allies. They do not seek democracy or peace in Syria. They seek civil war, destruction and control over this strategic Middle East nation. Shame on them!

Sure Mr Asher in Tel Aviv! LOL You Zionists are really working very hard on this thread!What is going to happen when we realise what sort of parasites our taxes have been supporting and who our young folks in the military and CIA have been protecting while the western world went bankrupt?Taking over the Islamic world and China and Russia will not be so easy as it was to rip off America and Europe Shylock!    Your reputation for loyalty and fair dealing precede you wherever you and your CIA/NATO mercenaries for "peace" now try to move.Time to `fess up and apologise before very popular Zionists get swept into the sea?

Some people within RT want regime change in Syria! we already know this-- this also happens always on RT blogs critical of U.S foreign policy-- so could this be an accident? I do not think so--

It is time for a real war in the middle east betw russia/china vs us/nato.
otherwis e usa/nato will keep ignoring true human rights and go on invading secular muslim countries ... like iraq, libya, and now syria...because these secular muslim countries are the true defenders of the islamic caliphate, they are the ones who have never bow to the west, who have never allowed themselves to be slaves like the saudis, bahrains, qatar etc to the west.
i hope russia will defend syria.

There are 192 member states at the United Nations.

14 member states attended the so-called "Friends of Syria" meeting in Paris. Hardly a ringing endorsement.

The group is nothing more than a band of hardcore US allies, who will do as they are told. Yet, Clinton refers to them as 'the international community' as an attempt to legitimise the decisions they make. What a farce.
