    It's really bad when you have no idea what to believe. The major networks have become just as big outlets for propaganda as the special interest sources.

    Reuters has published an interesting article talking about how Putin feels about the whole situation and what he thinks is going on, and how he is feeling really confident going into the G20 Summit.

    I don't know, honestly. I don't know that I see a point in military intervention. I understand it from a political standpoint - we have to send them the message that breaking international law by using chemical weapons won't be tolerated, yadiyadiyadi - but I think raining down deadly weapons to send the message defies common sense.

    Whatever happens, I really want the UN as a whole to decide and agree and I want America to step back and let other countries lead. But we already know that will never happen.

    I think this question brings us more into a conspiracy theory than anything, but in my opinion, I think the world wants another World War. Say the NWO is a real thing, if they're ever going to act they need to act soon, more and more people are 'waking up' and not believing everything the media and government spews at us, WW3 would be a great way to decrease the population, cause poverty, starvation, disease.... Then the government steps back in and offers 'salvation'... They set up camps and areas to 'help us out', etc...

    But that's just a conspiracy theory I suppose, but I think if there ever is a WW3, that will end up happening, because this war would be bigger than any war ever seen before, and every country and every person would be drastically effected.

    But if there is no NWO, and all of the conspiracies are wrong, yet the war with Syria still begins, I have a feeling all of the people in power will have enough common sense and learn from history to not start another huge World War. Or so I hope....

    Summery: If there's a NWO there will be WW3. No NWO no WW3. Or so thats what I believe.

    Now he's saying that a delegation from the Russian Parliament wants to come to Washington and meet with our Senate and House! :eek: Nothing like this has ever happened before! It's going to be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

    In general, more communication between the two governments could be a very good thing, especially since Putin and Obama don't seem to get along very well.

    I want to know more about the Russian position on Syria. They can't possibly be okay with the idea of more chemical weapons floating around the world and being used more often in the future, because that increases the chances that gas will someday be used on Russia. The Chechnyan rebels surely wouldn't hesitate to drop nerve gas on Moscow, if they could get their hands on it. So...their position confuses me. Russia is usually not hesitant to take bold, decisive action to protect their own interests.

    The Arab League is meeting to talk about this too. If the majority of them decide that things have gone too far, people should respect that.

    Including the very wealthy.

    It's seeming like Putin is skeptical about the Syrian government using the chemical weapons.

    He's called for the U. S. to produce the evidence.

    What I think we can't prove is WHO used them. Residue has been found in dead bodies.

    The problem in Syria, it not just Assad and the Bathists alone, but it is Assad and his enablers and cohorts in Iran and Russia.

    If Assad was alone, the Syrian crisis would have been resolved long ago. He is kept afloat by his cohorts.

    I would wish for our friends in Russia to have some influence over the actions of The Government, but since Democracy is suppressed there, The rule of Vlad Putin is absolute. I am sure that the peoples of Russia do not want to be friends with Assad and his gangsters, the people and The Media have no influence.

    What of the verdict of history for those who enabled murder in Syria?

    I find Our President, and his Secretary of State to be uninspiring.

    Mr. Obama is signaling his distaste for the matter, his detachment may have been understood by Members of Parliament who voted against intervention.

    I find Senator Kerry to be not credible as a war leader.

    It is not the job of the Secretary of State to be a war leader. While I think Kerry is a grade-A douche, I think you're being unfair here.

    I wasn't paying much attention until they had to drag a protester out. Based on the summary comments on the bottom of the screen, it seems to be the same talking points we've heard all weekend. Evidence of chemical weapons use, limited military strikes, etc.
