1. Still horrible for the ones next to you


  2. interesting video...


  3. "So, Secretary of State John Kerry referenced this photograph when making his speech today, trying to drive home how awful the Syrian chemical attack was as he tried to convince us why we should go to war. One problem. The picture isn’t even from Syria. It’s from Iraq in 2003. The photographer, Marco di Lauro, said he nearly “fell off his chair” when he saw it was being used to promote a war in Syria. It’s getting pretty disturbing to see how far our politicians, both Republican and Democrat, are willing to go to drum up support for a war nobody wants."
  4. Disturbing photo. Much more disturbing history.
  5. Just read that Kerry's said that sarin gas was used in Syria. Well, that is a chemical classed by the UN as mass destruction weapon...
  6. I will wait till the UN comes with the results and its proof on who used which gas. Since the 'truck with WMD at some depot in Iraq desert' -photo I am not so keen to believe any proof presented by the USA.
  7. I'd wait too. This is getting too serious too fast. I'm glad the new foreign minister here is reacting with reason and keeping his distance from Assad. Some other idiots are talking here tho and saying radical stuff, but I think they'll be shut up soon.

    Anyway, here is a cartoon by an Iranian cartoonist I thought might fit here:

    Assad is saying: "Now choose: Me or him?"
