Syria

Once again my thoughts turn to the conflict in Syria, the new elected president of Iran has stated that he intends to send 4,000 troops to support Assad's regime, then we have the USA saying it is going to arm selected rebels, just how you might select them is beyond me, then we have Putin's Russia, I  understand that he is the power behind Syria, supporting Assad, it is pretty obvious that the present government is dead in the water so why support it?, the USA has to be very careful just how it goes about this selection of groups it will support, just look at Vietnam, I always felt that the West should intervene but that was when it was a fight for democracy, that has now changed, we have been to involved in the Middle East, we should not be there it is not our responsibility nor really anything to do with us, all we seem to achieve is the death of our young soldiers, too many for me, the only problem for me is the children of these violent places, idiotic laws that put women down and treat them like dogs, just what is religion all about?, love and respect for your neighbours? in the Middle East not a hope in hell, the same with Turkey, what an idiot president we have here, in a country that is well known for its abuse of its people, I watched the mad police attacking civilian's with tear gas, baton rounds and water canons, the president in a speech to people in Ankara being told by this cretin that this is how the world behaves that this as it is in Europe the USA, I think not, it is not surprising that Turkey can't get into the European Union, we cant lower ourselves to allow this country in till their human rights of the people are sorted out.
