Consolidated Syria Conflict Thread

What would have happened if the French would have challenged Hitler sending troops into the Rhineland or if Chamberlain hadn't rolled over  for Hitler's demands in Czechoslovakia.

Hitler would have backed down and WW2 would have happened a few years later, but Adm. Raeder would have gotten to build his battlewagon-and carrier-heavy Kriegsmarine instead of the KM-lite he got stuck with.

Doenitz would probably have had his 300 U-boats. IIRC the original plan was to go to war in '48.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

They're gonna make Obama draw a new Red Line. 

What would have happened if Churchill had gone with an opinion poll instead of writing his "We shall fight them on the beaches" speech?

I would love for you to make the case that Obama deserves to stand in Churchill's shadow.

O doesn't deserve anything.

The point was actually made by Prof Fears of Oklahoma, describing Churchill's speech. I thought it was a very interesting point. Sometimes we feel Gov should do the will of the people. Sometimes we feel a leader must make a case. Do we have leaders that politic for points according to what analysis thinks will win votes? Mostly. Will we have another like Churchill that will shape history from his or her conviction? I hope so, in fact I hope such a leader emerges in the Muslim world to end the association of violent terrorism with Islam.

There was an article on Reuters about Muslims feel torn between their American identity and their Muslim identity. That is a first step, realizing something doesn't fit. The next step is fixing the extremist justification in Islam.

O cannot do it.

[LongBlade]

Got it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Not at all.
Cheers, mate.

I have been saying for a couple of years that civil war is coming to europe within the next decade. And people that used to say I was to pessimistic are now starting to turn around.
Now more and more people in various countries are arming themselves, and there is alot of anger in the various populations. People are getting fed up with the politicians and i fear it will turn very very ugly.

[MetalDog]

I've felt that way, too.  For the last twenty years or so.

I must just live in a different world then the rest of society, because this is not something I'd bring up as an accomplishment.

A boastful recap of the State Department's accomplishments, written by spokesman John Kirby, includes the bold subheadline of "Bringing Peace, Security to Syria" above a more modest entry talking about U.S. aid for those affected by the country's turmoil and the U.S. push for a political transition from President Bashar Assad.

... resolution to create a road map for Syria going forward.

So basically, a road map for peace.

I've never heard that before. Sounds like a plan

We are living in a George Orwell world now.

There are also allegations of media cover up.

Critics have also pointed to the fact that the story has been ignored by many large German news outlets. In general, English-language mainstream media has also failed to report on what happened, although BBC News did cover the story.

"Many people accused the national media of engaging in a cover-up due to the ethnic background of the criminals, with many pointing to the fact that it took days before the details of the story reached national attention," reports the Local.
