Syria is as bad as they come. I know ALOT of people on here blame everything on the jews, but my scope is MUCH farther than that.     This girl obviously doesn't live like a typical syrian, she is most likely a wife or daughter of one of their 'elites'. She is shielded and indoctrinated from the truth. Just look at those floors in the background. That tells you she's got some wealth behind her. Those floors would be expensive enough or even too expensive for the middle class in the US -- let alone in a place like syria. she's the 1% in syria.      One of her excuses is that Syria has found oil. Everyone always blames oil.....but did the US get even a drop of oil from Iraq? NO. oil prices are higher than ever. Who did? CHINA. they swooped in after the US left and made huge contracts for oil from Iraq. Why do you think China is backing all of these nations that it does? Because it wants their oil. When Iran was sanctioned against, China used that sanction to get dirt cheap oil prices out of Iran.     The US on the other hand, is on the cusp of having more natural resources than it knows what to do with, in both oil and gas. We're poised to put places like saudi arabia out of business, figuratively. Many countries don't like this revelation because it means their days of price jacking will be over.     She defends egypt, but conveniently forgets that the ousted leader has billions upon billions of tax dollars stolen from people in private bank accounts. he had palace after palace. when leaders have palaces like that, there is definitely a gross misuse of public funds going on.    I could keep going on and on about the double standards in the middle east.    for example, she talks about something as simple as coca cola being unbanned. about how syria wanted to keep foreign products out. first off, keeping foreign products out is ultimately wrong. are we to sit back while countries (like china has done) copy american products then sell them to their own people? think about that real hard. if you created a business and tried to expand but found out a country has a company in it copying your products ingredients and making money off of it, while at the same time trying to ban you from their market....how would you feel?     furthermore, syria had no problem with exporting products for monetary gain....so syria wanted outside products banned....but at the same time had no problem with exporting products to other countries for monetary gain. that is disgustingly hypocritical and one sided.    although this soda thing isn't what this is about, this is just to point out some of the hypocrisy of her tainted logic.     the problem with these places is that no side is really all that innocent. they're trying to get people to view the world as having either purely good guys or purely bad guys and that's just not how it works. sure, israel loves sticking it to other nearby countries, BUT that doesn't mean those countries deserved nothing. as far as I'm concerned, israel can burn alongside many others in that region.     as much as I'd love the US to return to a non-involvement in foreign issues (pre-prearl harbor) the world is simply too small to do so. this world is a control or be controlled world, simple as that. of course, that doesn't mean I agree with obama at all or all foreign relations practices in general.    the US learned a serious lesson in pearl harbor and many other incidences like it; that it could be attacked even for minding its own business.     you wanna know how safe the US is? If the US were to announce on the world news that it was disarming its military and citizens completely and dropping out of world involvement in every way, almost immediately it would be under fire. within a few years at best, US shores would be swamped with invaders.     Again, while I don't agree with obama, it's not as simple as 'do nothing'. whether we do something or nothing, we will be painted as the bad guys for different reasons.     for example, in rwanda people cried for both the US to do something and nothing. the US did nothing, and now it is blamed for doing nothing. In other places people cry again for the US to do something and nothing, and when the US does something, it's attacked again. so whether we do nothing or something, we will be vilified.    Russia's involvement in syria is purely about $$ and pride. it houses the only military base left outside of russian territory. for them it's a little about money, a little about pride, and a little about sticking it to the US for losing the cold war. russia has a habit of making friends with small states and turning them on the US. I think too many people forget the lessons of the cuban missile crisis. we can't really afford to forget that at one point, russia was set on a path to nuke the US far and wide and was only stopped because the US found out it was responsible and that it wasn't just cuba acting alone.    there's soo many complexities at work here that it would take volumes of books and brain racking to cover it all.
