Okay. I just finished reading the whole thread.

First, I agree with post #36 (Russia vs USSR). I think there's always good and bad in any government and I think that was true for Syria. They had a decent government and they wanted even more. Now they've lost everything cause they were too impatient to wait for changes to happen.

I kinda agree with post #69. I read about the Afghan thing in 1979. The leader was too friendly with the west and the Russians wanted him out for National Security reasons. The US used that as an excuse to train Middle East terrorists to attack the new system in Afghanistan. One of those terrorists was Osama bin Laden. It was another way to set up a military base aimed at Russia. And Afghanistan became the poorest country in the world. The score was America gets everything, Afghanistan gets almost nothing.

Now the US wants Syria so they can seriously damage Iran's economy. Obama doesn't care how many Syrian people die or even how they die. If they died because of illegal chemical weapons then that's even better cause he can use that excuse to bomb Syria. Then he can put his own dictator in power and yeah, Syria can be another sweatshop country. And who gets all the profits from that? The factories.
The next thing that happens is Obama will find a reason to bomb Iran.

It's too sad to even think about all the people who will die from all these wars.
That's why I believe that Assad should win. Yeah, a lot of people will still suffer and die but not as many as there will be if Iran is attacked too. These wars need to stop!

Also, if Obama gives arms and stuff to the rebels then he's giving them to the terrorists and Al-Qaeda too. And that's called "Aiding The Enemy". And that's treason.
There's 2 things I saw and read that really scared me about all this.

I think Medvedev may have just been saber rattling. But it was scary and that NY Times article is even scarier. It could escalate into something nobody can control.
I just hope Congress can stop Obama before any of this can happen.
