M iseducated, misinformed, mispositioned, misopinionated... what you fail to see is that there is nothing in Syria such as ''the peoples' will''. Syria is a fragmented society among various religious and ethnic communities which would make a long list to name. Even among the so called ''sunni-majority'' that is supposed to be the 70% of the population, in reality 1 in 4 or 1 in 3 of them is actually a non-Arab, mostly Kurds and these are pro-Assad and anti-sunni-fanatics. The whole case is of a minority of Sunni fanatics that rebel against Assad, who are not actually rebelling themselves, since they never had access to heavy weaponry themselves but they are actually manned by foreign terrorists that US and UK have been training in Afganistan and Pakistan and funding via Saudi Arabia and equiping via Turkey. We have seen this connection of fanatic sunni islam (the salafists, the wahhabis) on every single US-UK presence around the world, from Bosnia and Kosovo in Europe, to Indonesia.

If you cannot digest the reality as it is that is your problem. It is not the problem of those ''anti-western'' ones. You have to realise that West = Britain and US and the few countries they federate around them (Netherlands, Danemark and Norway) which hardly contain even the 10% of Europeans - all of them countries that were never the heart of European civilization to which they offered less than what they used out of it. The link of British and Dutch to fanatic sunni islam dates back centuries, it is nothing new.
Politics may change. Geopolitics do not change. Fact of life. The Western block (US-UK) uses once again the fanatic sunnis to yield control over the Middle East and thus the world in extent. At some point there has to be put an end - and Russia is wholy responsible for it. They have to fly a message missile somewhere over the Atlantic, otherwise the madmen/women of the other side will not stop. Only when they eay a slap in the face will they calm down and think more logically.

In reply to Mr.A(unregistered). In the first place, I am not a young man who busied himself everyday playing computer games. I am a seventy year old man. What you are saying is that the government of Syria should not buy military equipments to replenish their armory. When the western world are busy supplying the rebels with all sorts of military hardware, the government should fold their arms and be run over. Why can't those supplying arms to the rebels not supply the same quantity to the oppositions in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAR and Yemen? How old were you when the Vietnam war started and ended? If the North Vietnamese didn't get regular supply of arms they would not have won the war. Those who are supporting the rebels don't care about the lives of the women and children of Syria.
