wide eyed and legless said:Syria and Libya both ruled by tyrants keeping the populations in check, good thing is about tyrants is they don't last.
Interesting warning by Chris Hitchens.
Are you referring to the Halabja chemical attack?motch02 said:I stopped watching when that guy said the Bin Ladens want to redraw the map and make an Islamic caliphate, that's a conspiracy..
America has been supporting groups in that area for a long time, they are illegally bombing a sovereign nation for a problem they created. I've seen videos of their moderate rebels eat the hearts of the people they have killed and behead others. Not to mention the flase flag that was the chemical weapons attack, now they've built up momentum with ISIS they'll have ground troops in not too long and Assad hung in 2 years. And for what?
And to say Gaddafi was a tyrant is quite bias, yes he ruled that country but he also provided the highest living standards in Africa, provided education, he gave a lot back to the people and also put in place the world's largest irrigation project among a lot of other things. He was propped up by the British and US and when he stopped being their play thing, the propaganda wave started.
I'd hardly describe a theocracy where every aspect of governance and the lives of the citizens, not to mention the constitution must adhere to islamic (sharia) law as democratic. In any case, decisions handed down by Council of Guardians (conveniently appointed by the 'supreme leader' and a handful of sympathetic jurists) can veto laws and reject candidates as they see fit. Not to mention they 'supervise' the elections - results and investigations.motch02 said:No I'm referring to the events last year where Obama had looked to get in to Syria, by blaming an attack using chemical weapons on Assad.. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-23927399 it's misinformation to gain support but didn;t work
