Sure, but who is gonna back them up? The Syrians themselves can oust the regime without the need for NATO or US to intervene. If the West or even Arabs just provide the logistics for the people on the ground, the Assad regime will not last for long. You see all these nations coming up on TV...

Initially I used to think the same way, however, the situation on the ground had changed so drastically that the resemblance with the Iranian Green Revolution is not plausible. The Green Revolution did not evolve into an urban warfare with small, yet determined, soldiers securing whole...

There is continued fighting in the Ghotta district. Yesterday Al-Arabiya and several news outlets had reported Damascus airport was shutdown and the main highway linking Damascus to the airport was heavily fortified by Al-Assad army. Today, the neighbourhood of Saqba in the suburb of Damascus is...

Fully biased journalisim. It is a matter of fact that foreign journalists are not allowed in Syria, and if anyone allowed would be on the condition they travel with a government designated personnel (claim for security, but really to manipulate where/what they can see). If you want unbiased...

It has been a long time indeed!! The article you've posted above is inaccurate. The defected Syrian Army Officer on that website is listed as Major-General. However, quick check on his rank reveals he is a Colonel in the Syrian Army (Later videos claim he is Colonel in the Syrian Air Defence)...

Now that oil prices are approaching $100 a barrell, and knowing that extaction cost for Oil in Alberta is hovering around $15-$30 at worst, I think it is becoming more economical to pursue the smaller oil wells that were never an option before. I believe we have at least 50-100 years of...

Agree, but lets not forget most people are followers. They believe in something because their "idol" appear to them strongly believe in that thing. There are many moderate Saudis who speak democracy, development, and modern Islam. If you don't try, you'll never succeed. Once the majority is open...

LOL...spank 'em!

Likely there are many Wahhabi supporters within the Royal family (afterall, it is what got them there). Though, if you observe closely to the type of people who join the Saudi intelligence agency or the army, they're typically the most loyal to the Saud House than Wahhabist extremists. Would the...

There is no doubt extremism originate and nurture in Saudi land. But why the rulers of Saudi not attempt to put serious stop to it ? The simple answer is, the current and previous kings of Saudi conquered Saudi people and defeated the Ottoman installed government by promoting the Wahhabi...

I believe te Arabs in general didn't care much to the Syrian response which was the typical "we reserve the right to retaliate". Something the rest of the Arab world have heard many times from Syria without any results. Some Arabs do see Syria deserves to be hit due to its alliance with Iran...

I do agree with CSA 105 post. All sides in the ME are no better than the other one. Personally, I think if the Arabs possessed nukes while Israel had none nor Israel had support from the US, Tel Aviv would be flatten by now. On the other hand, lets not forget the Israel did consider using...

Speaking of electric motors, this is an interesting innovation taking advantage of electromagnetic motors to achieve better efficiency: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Axle_Corporation The bike can travel around 180km on a single charge and reach speeds of 150km/hr , price wise it is...

I think debating whether current situation in Lebanon constitute a coupe is useless. We all know the fact of what is happening on the ground. Hezbollah Shia'as and Christian Militias supporting the ex-exiled president Michele Aoun with the green light from Syria and Iran are attempting to...

Actually, a political analyst **I'll get you the name...** on CBC last night predicted this would happen as it happened under ** validating **. The former US Ambassador Gordon Giffin argued the Bush administration is different and even if the Dems win House+Senate, he predicted it won't happen...

I was following the story on CBC and their conclusion was in that sense. The Defence pretty much made it easier for the Crown to do its job by asking to severe that phrase. So now the prosecution does not need to proof that the defendant had a religious, political...etc motive to commit the crime.

And what part of any of my posts I've stood against these ideals ? True, and I sincerely respect that. You can't build a nation based on one idea alone. But there are logical limits for everything whether far-right or far-left. This is what I've been saying all along, we could have...

I only scare those ignorant of their own beings and others surrounding them. Your views and many on the extreme right are as dangerous as the Muslim extremists themselves. I'm more than glad you're a very small minority of people with twisted look at the world. I'm with many more who will...
