An Arabian council inspects Syria and its treatment of civilians when the Saudi Arabian government assisted Bahrain in killing its own civilians. US demonizes the Syrian government for attacking armed groups that are intent on causing mayhem and toppling its government, at the same time police in the US attack peaceful protesters that are not armed and don't have the intent of toppling the government. The hypocricy is unbelievable.

The US was probably searching for any excuse to intervene militarily into Syria, or at least get NATO to jump into this ugly mess. The CIA/Mossad has been paying mercenaries to disrupt Syria, and to be insurgents.

@mks989 Bashar is not an Arab, he's an Alawite, he's a REAL Syrian. The Arabs and Turks have just been migrating into Syria ever since the moslem expansion. Now they expect som special rights, ofcourse, the bloody immigrants.

Clarification: the mass-deception media focus on Syria of all places is completely unjustified.

People have been shot at in Bahrein plainly before cameras, where is the call for a UN resolution on that?

[AmericanBadass44]

@seanlaca Something for me to clarify. Are you saying that the hypocrisy of onlooking governments justifies the actions of Al-Assad's government?
