Latest Arab Spring thread

[Fair&Balanced]

The fact that you are evidently so consumed with proving me wrong over what is simply a matter of semantics (in this post) rather than focusing on the issue of the Arab spring uprisings is really quite amusing.

Meaningless, but amusing nonetheless.

Just another outbreak of Mercenary Madness to hit a discussion. Fortunately, it is not contagious and reasonable people are immune to it.

I have explained that several times.

There was a UN mandate for military action in Libya along with support of the Arab League. The UN wont even adopt a resolution condemning Syria, because Russia and China will veto it and the Arab League would oppose any resolution or action as well.

Libya has no allies among the other Arab powers. Syria has Iran.

A military action against Syria could have backlash against Israel, led by Hezballah and Hamas, both under the Syrian/Iranian influence.

A simple understanding of the geopolitics of the region.

So far failed. Supported by a well known terrorist organization.

Citation please. Proves how inept the UN is as an organization we should stop throwing taxpayer dollars into......

Libya has no allies among the other Arab powers. Syria has Iran.
