Eradicating all dictators. It would lead to World War 3 and after that, if there was anything left, there would still be corruption and dictators. Are you saying we should get rid of some but not all or are you saying we shouldn't get rid of any? |

If the Syrian Dictator Must Go… Why Not the Dictators in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain? |

And Monsanto has to sell their food products somehow. They will never go hungry and decimate their numbers at the same time. A win win for everyone. |

Big corporations have little or no regard for human life. Monsanto is an evil corporation.

If the Syrian Dictator Must Go… Why Not the
Dictators in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain? If We’re “Fighting for Democracy”, than Why Are We Arming and Financially Supporting Dictatorships throughout the Middle East? By WashingtonsBlog June 01, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - Western Israeli leaders call Syrian leader Assad a dictator. Fair enough. He and his father have ruled Syria since 1971. But what about Saudi Arabia? The Saudi royal monarchy has been ruling that region for hundreds of years. Wikipedia notes: Due to its authoritarian and theocratic rule, the House of Saud has attracted much criticism during its rule of Saudi Arabia. Its opponents generally refer to the Saudi monarchy as totalitarians or dictators. There have been numerous incidents of demonstrations and other forms of resistance against the House of Saud. *** All surviving males (including Utaybi himself) were beheaded publicly in four cities of Saudi Arabia. While the Saudi royal family pushes the most strict and fundamentalist form Islam, the Saudi royal family’s debauchery and corruption is legendary. The monarchs – while pushing strict Wahabism as the official state religion – don’t practice it. Similarly, Qatar has been ruled by one family monarchy for over 150 years: Qatar has been ruled as an absolute and hereditary emirate by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century. CBS News includes Qatar on its list of “The world’s enduring dictators“, noting: Like many of its neighbors, the controversial host of the 2022 World Cup in soccer is accused of many human rights abuses when it comes to its foreign workers, like setting them up in squalid labor camps separate from society, confiscating their passports upon arrival, and giving them a general lack of rights. That said, Amnesty International reports only sporadic instances of torture and abuse by state security forces. As for Sheikh Hamad’s dictatorial bona fides, The New York Times writes: “While Qatar calls for democracy outside its borders, democracy here is provisional at best. While there are municipal elections, and women can vote in them, the country has a Parliament building but no Parliament — or any other political institution, for that matter — that can challenge the royal family’s grip on power.” Similarly, Bahrain has been ruled almost continuously by the Al Khalifa royal monarchy since 1820. Bahrain also makes CBS News’ list of “world’s enduring dictators”. CBS noted in 2011: Uprisings in the late 1990s as well as right now have been fueled as much by resentment from the repressed, poor Shiite majority against their privileged Sunni rulers as anything else. In both uprisings, accusations against the government of gross human rights violations and protester murders have been plentiful. At least 11 demonstrators have been killed so far this year. Most recently, Bahraini security forces stand accused of indiscriminate abduction and torture of dissidents. Things have gotten worse since then. Three-time Emmy award winning CNN reporter Amber Lyon reported on her first-hand experience of the systematic torture and murder of peaceful protesters by the government of Bahrain. But she was fired by CNN for doing so … while CNN accepted payment from the Bahraini monarchs to run a fluff propaganda piece about them. Indeed, the U.S. government has supplied substantial military support to the Saudi, Qatari and Bahraini dictators. The U.S. Federal Reserve also bailed out the Arab Banking Corporation of Bahrain. Why is the U.S. backing the dictators in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain? Because the U.S. backs the Sunni Muslims against the Shias. The leaders in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain are Sunni Muslims … while the leaders in Syria, Iran and Lebanon are Shia Muslims. Yup … the U.S. is involved in a religious war – between the two factions of Islam (and is actually backing the most violent elements) – as part of a geopolitical strategy to exert control over the natural gas market. Indeed, the U.S. is liberally backing Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood (both Sunni) terrorists in their fight against Shia Muslims … … And in their fight against Christians and atheists.

That Guy should be given McCains medals. Who is he? Ron Pauls son, Rand. He has already announced his 2016 presidential run and thanks to current events, is getting much better media coverage than his dad was allowed. |

John McCain makes George Bush look intelligent. John McCain flew 22 Bombing missions in North Vietnam killing mostly innocent civilians and was presented with a host of medals for doing so. He would have no hesitation in bombing Syria Lebanon and Iran in the morning. The man is a crazy and he was elected by Americans like him. Decent Americans are being ignored . There is hope but it needs to be fast forwarded . |

My opinion....It was murder to direct the narrative. A trial would not have been to their advantage. And now the younger brother is up and around denying any guilt, confession, or any other incriminating proof of involvement. I think they screwed up and lost control of that situation..... I don't think he was supposed to live. It got out of their hands with so many involved in the capture. There was a cell phone that captured him trying to surrender twice "I'm coming out!" and both times multiple shots were fired after those announcements! Google it on you tube It really makes me ill to think this kind of evil is operating here in this country. What should worry you more is your fellow Americans that believe and convince themselves that it is not happening. |

Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his 22 missions spent bombing mostly civilian targets. |

Monsanto 101
Monsanto is not a food company. Monsanto a chemical company that made its name, for example, selling saccharin to Coca-Cola and Agent Orange to U.S. military. Its products also include PCBs, dioxin, DDT, and rBGH. Monsanto records annual sales of roughly $11.8 billion and operates 404 facilities in 66 countries, over 6 continents with products grown on more than 282 million acres worldwide. Monsanto is one of three corporations (along with DuPont and Syngenta) that control 70 percent of the global seed market -- aiming for monopoly power over the planet’s food and water supplies. |

Let's hope someone has got it right . Is Syria going to be attacked by an outside source or not?
Proxy war or boots on the ground. The bullies need influence in Syria, how is that going to be achieved?. |
