I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I do wonder what they think is going on in Syria because whilst the UK and the US are pussyfooting around saying were going to strike at military targets, the Syrian Government must be saying thanks for letting us know, weve moved it anyhow and we'll be ready for you!

What say you members should the UK/US strike Syria?

I have to agree with James, keep out, don't take us in to another war we can't win. I can't ever see the problems in the Middle East being solved.

The trouble is that the side you choose to support could be just as bad as the other.

The frightening situation is such that if the Middle East become totally radical and  with a nuclear capability make no mistake about it they would threaten the western world in its entirety subject us to Sharia Law or worse, unless we denounced our own faiths and converted to the Muslim faith.

Their path is world domination they are already well entrenched in many western countries they will take control simply by outbreeding us and then democratically take control not a nice prospect I am just pleased that my expectancy of life will reach maturity before this occurs.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling of deja vu about all this. Iraq comes to mind and the lies told by Blair re WMD to propel us into that war. It may be true that Saddam Hussein was not a particularly nice man, but under his dictatorship, Iraq was a largely secular country with good infrastructure and an excellent education system. For the majority of Iraqis, life was peaceful. All this, and the lives of countless innocents, was destroyed in that 'just war' and now we have radical Islam in its place.

You know what was the worse thing about the Iraq War, and the same with Egypt...they over ran the museums and took priceless history artifacts and with it the only legacy we have of early mankind besides the monkeys.  Something akin to losing the Alexandria Library in it's day.This besides the deaths/destruction...and afterwards all the guys came back that were crazier then an hoot and killing the people over here..said to been an sideline of drugs and brainwashing techniques during the war. Did you know most guys that are told they are heading into these areas now, go have their sperm put into sperm banks, because the chemicals over there make for , sterile soldiers...idiots....or disabled births in children with the Chemical Spraying going on. They say this started in Viet Nam era with "Agent Orange" I think we need to really evaluate how to handle the problems over there better with an suicidal agenda. Asfor the Muslims they have an history of beign kicked out of nearly every country they have tried to live in for the radical ideals they enspouse.They go wrong..trying to play "God's judgement" on others. Something which I sno tthier job in the first place..but rather God's on judgement day. All they need to do is keep their own noses clean until that happens. Much of that can be blamed on parental conditioning as an child indeed. An child grows up with the ideals and thoughts of those they love the most as worthy ones. But thatis not always true...esp in how they think it needs to be carried out in the world to live with and raise children with themselves. The Native Americans had this kind of idealism also with Europeans...it got them killed and neglected and today there are but 1.5 per cent of them in our over all population. It wasn't that they were always wrong...it was that they decided to kill others to make their point made in life...it back fired, just like it will always backfire pretty much...and  hasin our last to engagments with others in the world. The only really successful..if you want to call it that was Suddam Hussin...as he was putting young boys ..as young as 12 to 15 in the front line to face us Americans so his "elite" corps of trained soldiers would seethe last of the gunfire in that war. It agin was an sucide mission to those young children. I have already been told that we will pay for the abuses wegive to our children some day in an divine message. Maybe the chemical spraying will be making the males sterile in the middle eastern countries. Maybe those kids will be considered people notable to function normally in their lives also for some reason or another. It shouldn' tbe an issue in this case of what to do on your own and without someone else forcing your hand..you know what to do play fairly in the pursuit of political prowness...or lose it all in th end. So sad...I can not begin to tell you how totally sad this makes me to hear of it ever going on to begin with.

As for the day...I finally got around to using paint stripper on the gliding rocker (outside furniture) so I can eventually re-stain it. I talked ot my neighbor an bit...and the city came out and re-surfaced around our street drains for this winter. It will be easier for me to clean those leaves as it will be for the street sweeper also. Rain is headed back in an couple of hours from now. I washed down my kitty cat, he scratching....and the water afterwards wasn't dirty  but it was an bit dingy...then we hugged and got him dried and fed and he laid down for an long comfortable nap of not being itchy any longer.

Tonight is open house for the schools...and everyone is getting ready for the first day..between the kids on the street today checking out bus stops, playing with each other, the city workers here, and us neighbors talking back an forth, my kitty cats enjoyed sitting and watching everyone for the most part...kind of like "family" things going on to them.....I'm thinking of making an chocolate cake for the weekend and yet don't need the calories.....Cup of sugar free chocolate might work out better. Have an good evening, I hear I'm getting my babysitting culprits...the doggies tomarrow around noonor shortly there after. I have their cages right now as it is...bought the doggie bones also for snacks today...along with bird food. Have an nice evening everyone...and snuggle on down with the rain if need be...until tomarrow...smiles*

The Labour party are suddenly being very cautious, I wonder if they are thinking about the debacle that was Iraq. Milliband was with the PM a few days ago, now there seems to have been a big change of heart.

It wont solve anything wars never have, yes there are victors but at what cost.

But it has to be made clear to Syria that the International community will not tolerate such actions by its leaders the west has the capabilities without deploying ground forces.

I am not one that advocates war and sincerely hope that it stops short of declaring war on Syria.

But what has been done in Syria against its own people is barbaric to see children coughing up their insides and foaming at the mouth is heartbreaking.

Lucifer is out there again this morning...took out two of my postings..just as I was getting ready to give the good news going on
also. STUPID.......

Kill your own people, kill your own country...kill your kids...kill your future country..not to hard to figure out. Make war..destroy everything......then everything is destroyed.
Indeed..life must seem like "Hell" under that thinking.
