Syria: France threatens military force in wake of chemical weapons claims - Telegraph

Contrary to their reputation for surrendering, the Frogs seem to have done a decent job in Mali, but it's debatable whether Al and his Malinese Qaedas could put up as much of a fight as Assad.

Unlike Russia, which a mafia state on a far larger scale

No one cries about 'doing something' about Russia either

I think some punk girls tried that a little while back and found themselves in prison.

Its like Egypt. They have a dictator, imprison him. Everyone fights. Then they realize they are better off with a dictator.

These countries should make themselves part of the Empire. Its the only way forward.

tulipty and all as the IRA are, there aren't camps of hundreds and thousands of people that the UN has to feed and house.

I don't think it's the same thing. The scale is vastly different for one thing.

The IRA are a bunch of thugs, they aren't running a country, much as I'm sure they would like to think they are.

Did you ask me that just because I'm Irish or because you really think it is the same?

Din't know you were Irish.

Religion, sectarianism, whatever wrapping they want to give. It's the same source the world over. I grew up in Glasgow with the sectarianism crap, bunch of small minded thugs.

The violence in Iraq today is sectarianism pure and simple. Egypt, they say it's uprising, no it's religious hatred.

Syria, I don't believe for a minute, had the rebels preached under the same as what's his face there'd be the conflict that we now see.

This IRA thing has been going on for ages, why are they getting away with it?

The sooner the human condition can accept a life without religion, the sooner society can all live in corporation,

expect for SAS of course, he's a nutter - get him!

Feck me, it's a wonder that a cretin like you can make a living at all.

Definitely. But I doubt whether George W Bush could even figure out the meaning of the letters on a keyboard.
