They stated that they would be willing to use chemical weapons in an act of aggresion against their enemies, while Assad's regime, while having them, only threatened to use them if they were attacked with chemical weapons, or as a defensive weapon if a foreign army invaded. Hmmm, which is worse?

One of the major fronts in fighting Al-Assad are described by the good ole' USA as a terrorist organization.

In addition, tens of thousands of protesters have been imprisoned, and there were reports of widespread torture and psychological terror in state prisons.[61][62] International organizations accused the government and Shabiha of severe human rights violations.[63] Anti-government armed rebels were accused of human rights abuses as well.[64] Human rights groups report that the majority of abuses have, however, been committed by the Syrian government's forces, and UN investigations have concluded that the government's abuses are the greatest in both gravity and scale.[65][66][67]

assad of course, silly

Which justifies using CHEMICAL weapons aggressively, of course. You know we (America) invaded an entire fucking country because of that? Additionally, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Nusra_Front. And President Assad is willing to negotiate with the rebels, even give them positions in the government (www.rt.com) but they're denying these offers.

So you're supporting fucking intervention by the United States? You know what happened last time we did that? Iraq & Afghanistan. But in Afghanistan we were fighting terrorists, not supporting them. And let me say this and make it clear. I do not like Al-Assad, in fact I dislike him, but I'm looking towards the future, what will happen when the terrorist organizations like Al-Nusra get control of the government? I don't even want to think about it, because it is such a terrible thought. Done talking of it on here, and there's probably another thread on Syria somewhere, but I don't want to look for it
