Love that Arab Spring. Now its Iran's turn to set itself a burning.

I'll bet at least 30 people are murdered every day in the US.
Let's see...

Looks like around 45 per day in the US.

Let's worry about and clean up our own horrors instead of looking outward.

Isn't it about time that we stop sticking our noses in other people's business?

Possibly. But, you know, "Western outrage" trumps all other considerations.

Yet you seem to jump in on every single thread involving Israel and Iran with the exact same gameplan every time.

Deal with our problems. The middle east is not one of them.

To know the source of strength underpinning Assad, look to the Iranian regime. That regime will not let Assad fall. It has already funneled billions to prop him up. His control over Syria is vital to keeping the mullah's weapon route open to the Iranian proxy army in Lebanon. To bring down Assad, the Arab League should be sanctioning the Islamic Republic.

Iranian Revolutionary Guards are now active in the military onslaught in Syria and some have recently been captured working for Assad's forces. The leader of the elite Quds Force is now in Damascus and using his successful experience in destroying the Iranian freedom movement to direct the repression of the Syrian freedom fighters.

The extremist Islamic regime which has control over Iran is the cancer of the Middle East. It is the source of weapons and money to the most violent, anti-peace forces in the region. Until that tumor of terror is destroyed, there will be no peace.

the press expects respect and fairness from dictators and tyrants.
i am not sure exactly why. kpbs did a interview with some of these reports, they sounded like free base jumpers.
