so.. is it to early for the UN to appoint the Syrian president to the UN human rights counsel?

that would be par for the course for them after all

Q-Bert FTW!

But picking up on Subby's joke made me feel like this guy:

"Percent sign ampersand dollar sign!"

Now I'm reminded of the Q-bert cartoon on Saturday Supercade

sadly i can't remember the name of a single character from that show/game other than q-bert (without using google).

Get ready for war. Unemployment is still high. The economy appears to be teetering on the brink of recession or worse. Election season is here.

Unavailable for comment.

the UN is a group of marxist jack-boots, they should be totally eliminated!

I don't know what the World's deal is with Syria. I mean, it seems like there's a lot of political handwringing and admonition, but little to no action. Meanwhile, we get pictures and videos of civilians, including women and children, who are being slaughtered by their own government. Further, where is the righteous indignation on Fark that we saw during the Libyan revolt...and the Iranian protests in the past.

I guess everyone is tired of the war and we're just gonna wish all of those Syrians "bon chance" and sit back while we watch...right?

Just when you had a good rythm going he'd jump the wrong direction to his death.

Complicating factors:
Russia - Thinks Syria is it's Middle East area of control.
Iran - backs the Syrian regime as a proxy state.
China - Doesn't want its ability to suppress its population should things heat up, to be under the scrutiny of the UN.

Thus, in this one situation, the old and new cold war balance of powers culminate together to create a currently insurmountable gordian knot. Unfortunately everyone's hands are tied, as they don't want a small shooting war to escalate into a situation like the failure of the Ottoman Empire lead to the eventual WWI possibility with the new WWIII weapons.

Unfortunately, the non-alloite Syrians, are the ones who will have to bear the brunt of this, until enough non-traceable weapons/equipment comes in from the outside (Saudia Arabia, Iraq and elsewhere) to bring the balance of power up to equality and then a political solution can be implemented. Or Russia and China decide to blow off Iran, and give up their other objections to the UN, and hope that they won't be the next countries to come under scrutiny the next time a Georgian Crisis or Tiannamen Square Incident comes up.

Syria is just the mess nobody wants to spark the next big one from.

Looks like the Syrian government's stuck on repeat.

Mass killings? Terrorists!

Shelling of rebel-held towns? Terrorists!

Bad falafel? Terrorists!

Someone farted in the elevator? Terrorists!
