are religious extremists is laughable.

I have had a friend in Syria whom ive talked to since around 2002 , and I can promise you there are legitimate people who want a free Syria from this brutal regime.. has nothing to do with religion.
they cant help that iran and others have flooded their country with foreign fighters to blur the lines :p

are their extremists there? of course.
should all people fighting the Syrian government be labeled 'terrorists'? no.

get a grip. youre paranoid.

Why can't they interview someone from the Syrian Government.This is the problem I have with the media they take one side of a war.We totally are controlling the media war on this so we don't know what is really happening on the ground in Syria

I just came across an interesting observation in a novel I'm reading.

One man says to another that he is operating under the premise that the enemy of his enemy is his friend.

But it is very possible that they are both enemies.

where they publish anti-Semite Kevin Barrett, and think that Israeli death squads were behind the Sandy Hook school shootings.

It's not a source that anyone considering themself progressive should have anything to do with.
