Umm, was the 13 year civil war against the Assad regime not ugly enough for you?

Anyway, I'm sure you have an extremely nuanced take to share.

It was beyond ugly under Assad and continues to be ugly.  My take isn't nuanced at all, but would upset people here.  Have a nice day.

You're such a weenie. Why even start the topic if you're just going to bow out less than 10 minutes later?

Yes, yes, we all know you're totally fine with the mass genocide of people in the Middle East.

Move along.

Like college basketball, it is tough to follow a legend.

What does the S in S-Show stand for?

What does the S in S-Show stand for?

Sand. There's LOTS of sand in Syria. All Muggsy was trying to say was that there is a big sandstorm in the weather forecast there.

At least we aren't using the improper term of "haboob."

That would have been quite uncouth for the youthful mind of OP

And here I thought he would address the complex questions and history that drive the ethnic, religious, and political divide in Syria. Not to mention, speak to the actions of the outside actors who use the instability as an opportunity to grab power, fight a proxy war, and/or exhibit influence in a 21st century version of a great power game.

There's a reason I hide my Marquette degree in my basement.

To be fair, he doesn't use google and just lives off of what his friends send him

Seeing a lot of Damascus in politics currently.

Lotta da ICE agents wearing Damascus.

Well we know Wisconsinites are firmly backing the Kurds

[tower912]

That is Assad rip off of my bad pun.

It was the Middleast I could do.

All of you as usual have missed the point.  And it's super interesting you keep talking about a "mass genocide" commited by Israel with no mention, ever, of places like South Sudan, which  has been a horrific example of pure ethnic cleansing from an Arab government.  The vast majority of you refuse to deal with reality.  You will never under any circumstances criticize asshead Islamic governments, and the issues within that religion, that has led to mass chaos, brainwashing, and the subjugation of their own people.  You will blame Israel and the United States at every turn.  You're living in a la-la-land and cannot handle immutable truths.

Who has placed any blame here with Syria?
