    The governments of Syria,
    China & Russia,
    Venezuela & Bolivia.

    These 'people' are responsible for the massed rocket bombardment on the population of the city of Homs, shooting of civilians, torture and murder.

    No matter what the 'provocation' by massed civilians on the street, by Syrian soldiers changing 'sides', and by such individuals fighting back against the tanks, aircraft and other heavy weaponry, the defense of the state cannot be condoned when it adopts these (genocidic?) methods.

    The Srebrenica genocide (July 1995, Bosnian War) killed over 8000 muslims. Mladić's Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) murdered men, women and children, but particularly targetted men and boys. Described by the Secretary-General of the United Nations as the worst crime on European soil since the Second World War, this will be soon exceeded by the Syrian government's killings in Syria.

    **All this with the connivance of Russia, China, Venezuela and Bolivia.**

    First, I'm not for nor against Iran, Venezuela, russia or China. What they do, is their business. I can read the regular trolls commenting as usual how deeply they are concerned about human rights and peace in the middle east, bla bla bla. The same trolls believe everything what their corporate news tells them and how they have to support the rebels who are fighting for “freedom”. The same trolls have forgotten who those rebeles are and who sponsored them. The same trolls also seems to forget that the so called powers need a distraction against their own problems at home. US Ambassador Susan Rice, a disgusted mixed fascist, a fake so called afro-american that deeply cares about africa, we've seen that with Libya (not one word of how the blacks in Libya were slaughterd and not one word about the civil war still going one there, but hey, they scored the investmenst to secure the oil supply) is deeply disappointed with the Security Council vote that stops her for going to war and destabilize the area. That's all what they want. It's not the first time this happen, when there is a problem at home, they bring you to war..history repeats. I hope by god that more people in the US vote for ron paul.

    “not one word of how the blacks in Libya were slaughterd” Well I will give you a few words. Try looking at reality for a change. The blacks were imported mercenaries from Africa, brought in by the then government because so many of their own forces were switching sides.

    What would you expect to happen with mercenaries who extended the civil war and raised the death toll of the freedom fighters for pure monetary gain when the rest where figting for their country?

    Mind you, as their bloggers regularly tell us we are bad to interfere with countries,
    This building problem leading to civil war, in Syria,

    Just what then do Argies bloggers think the west, this time should do,
    Just sit this one out and mind our own business,

    Or offer help,
    Or perhaps Argentina might offer assistance in help these innocent people that are about to be killed,

    Any offers from the argie bloggers, or just silence,

    .

    Still ducking the fact that you were wrong about the Africans I see.

    Why am I not surprised by that?
