    The UK is set to give £5 million in financial aid to Syrian 'oppositional groups' (forces?). Apparently giving them guns would be in bad taste, so financial aid will have to do. I'm guessing they can then go buy the guns themselves. Here's an example of what the groups are up to:

    What do you think? Is it right to aid certain groups? Should we not just mind our own bussiness?

    Yes aid should be given to groups who are fighting for the right cause.


    Also that video, lmao, "postal workers'. Oddly enough I've heard claims for that same video that building houses the mukhabarat. Now, we can't know for sure which one is correct without being there, but let's try some actual deduction and reason. On one hand you have the possibility that an entire town full of people including children have come to gleefully cheer for the death of postal workers, and also that the city's post office is in a building that looks like a mini fort, or that they're cheering the death of intelligence workers for an autocratic regime.

    I mean I know the post office sometimes has bad service, but c'mon.

    It is time for the Assad regime to go.

    What's the right cause? Those in the video - whoever they are - are perhaps not throwing people off a building for the same reason you would be? :)
