came and intervened in our civil war with the south. They came in, posted the picture of the atrocities of our generals to civilians in the south(atlanta) and used it to justify and invasion of America. I know I would have opposed it and I oppose it now. The truth is if you decided to overthrow the leader of your country be it legitimate or illegitimate, you have to be prepared to get it hard.

Even if you believe the story coming from the rebels, Assad is not doing anything the US wouldn't do to a group of people who chalenged their authority. Just look at what they did in Waco
