Syria

I hope no one thinks that I am against helping the Syrian people, I support them all the way I hope that the world will send food and accommodation aid to the refugees, it has to be really bad in Syria if some of these are going over the Afghanistan and Turkey  boarder for safety it would be the last place I would head for, so I would like to see proper education being set up in the Lebanon, Jordan and any country that these unfortunate people should find themselves in, proper food sorted for these people, winter is on its way they are going to suffer the cold,  the West instead of firing rockets into Syria should invest in these children, they have been to hell and back investing in them now just might let them understand that we are not such a bad bunch of people and make friendships that can't be broken by religious zealots.

Unfortunately the US is very likely to send rockets into Syria, the stupid thing about this is that Assad has moved all the likely targets to other locations, so what would the point be, it is too late to do what the US thinks is best, if you give your opponent time he will use it wisely and he will be able to laugh at your attempts to defeat him, also Israel is in the firing line, as Assad cant score with an attack on the USA knowing how sick he is, he is most likely to get his satisfaction by bombing Israel, who will no doubt throw some back and off we go with another full scale war in the Middle East, you have to consider Iran, North Korea possible China involvement so is it worth while, all in all I think not a hope in hell, it is for the Middle East states to force Assad out of power and allow a democracy in all the countries but again my simplistic view has no hope so I am really defeated, I know what needs to be done but it is impossible to get it to happen.

Syria

I  hope that common sense will now prevail!, I have said many times that the West should get this mess sorted out, but only when the uprising was by the Syrian people, unfortunately this opportunity was missed, it is now impossible to help on the ground, there are so many religious factions fighting that is difficult to know who is who, so we are not able to help them on the ground which is a real shame, but religion rules the country.

Assad it seems will never give in, he is sure of help from Russia and Iran and no doubt China, you have to recognise that these three have absolutely no understanding of human rights or free speech, they treat their population like slaves but quite ones, if the US should bomb Syria it is a horrifying thought that Iran  just might attack Israel it will then become a very nasty situation for us all.

How do you stop a despot?, we have allowed many to destroy their countries bleeding them dry using the state taxes as a personal income, also happily taking money given by the UK government from My Taxes, so what can be done, would it not be a good idea to have a multi national group of soldiers that can enter and restore law and order under the UN  Security Council supported by a multi number of countries bearing the cost, I know this is simplistic but we have to start somewhere, I hope tomorrow will bring some sort of respite for the people and children of Syria.

Syria

Another day, the US and the UK trying to justify military action in Syria, no doubt a no fly zone and I would think a rocket attack on certain sites, I would say to David Cameron turn your back on it, it is not our responsibility, do you really want mad men running amok in the UK trying to blow us up because of our actions in the Middle East, they might not be people from outside the UK there are plenty of idiots in the UK who would without a doubt answer the call to kill us in the UK.

 I have to ask where is the Middle East Envoy? Mr Blair, why he is cruising on a rather large boat living the high life, should he not be doing something to sort this total mess out?, swanning about on a boat is not acceptable he should get on with the job he has.

So I have said time and time again it is the children of Syria who have  suffered, they have lost their whole family, seen their mothers raped their farther shot just what will this do to their minds, horror of this kind is not acceptable, I am sick of these religious zealot's form all sides preaching religion as the justification to wage war, Hezbollah must be loving the opportunity to fight a battle, are they looking to take over Syria who knows, then we have other mad men in Iran and North Korea just waiting for the opportunity to start other conflicts, I can see that I will be writing about this for some time more is the pity!!!!!.    Israel beware!!!

Syria

Here I am again, once again we are far too late to deal with the problems in Syria, I understand that we Britain have decided that the government in Syria have used chemical weapons against their own people, but the government of this country are not so well informed as to be able to confidently say that they know for sure that this is the truth, not possible!!.

The UN has only just today managed to gain access to the area, they have taken statements and have taken samples so even then we just might not know for sure who was the culprit is /was.

Now the devious side of me starts to think that just maybe the rebels have taken it into their heads that the statement made by Obama last year where he said that there was a red line where the world would  have to intervene and that was if chemical weapons had been found to have been used, now both sides are devious enough to do this, the rebels are not as they previously were they have been infiltrated by the dogs of war, we even know that British people are involved much to our shame, then Assad he would not stop for one second to use anything that he has to defeat one and all.

It has now gone far past an uprising against the government, all sorts of religious zealots are now involved who care not one jot for the people of Syria, so where to now?, well we seem to be now making decisions with the US and France as to what action the West needs to take, the US are moving ships close to the coast of Syria, why?, well all the better to fire missiles at certain targets, are we mad?, taking any action without the sanction of the UN will put us as targets for the mad killers out there, Russia and Iran will not in a thousand years sanction any action whatsoever.

I believe that this needs to be sorted out, action to be taken  by the US and the UK should not even be considered, is it not about time some of the other members of the UN take the action themselves?,  the countries in the middle East should clip the wings of Assad let them take the crap we have taken.

We as a country need to keep our noses out of these problems and just let others take the strain, we supported Europe in WW! and WW2 which bled the country dry, we have lost many soldiers over the past few years it is time to stop trying to be a big boy in the play ground and just sit on the outside watching how a problem evolves without having to have to bring dead soldiers home!!!.

The NHS

I hope that people in this country (England) fully understand the threat that the NHS is under, all over the country hospitals are having to make massive cuts to their budgets, do you want to see your hospital shrink?, that is what will happen, all hospitals will contract their services only one central hospital will provide all the relevant major services in the area, cancer treatments, heart and lungs, hip replacement and much more, many local hospitals will end up as nothing more than a diagnostic health clinic, you needing to go for treatment will have to pay for transport, and family visits that are seen as a major part of the recovery process will not happen because of the cost of transport so lack of visits, so what will the general person do??, well nothing really, they will sit back and do nothing, then when they need a service they will find that it has moved and their expectations as to be dealt with locally has vanished, they had known it was happening but did nothing, people really do need to wake  up to the dangers that are on their door step before it is too late !!!!!.

The Middle East

So it seems that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against its own people, well may be says the West, Russia and China vetoed a UN resolution they really should be ashamed of themselves, how can any country and I include every country in the World sit and watch so many civilians die in one of the nastiest ways possible, Syria refuses to let in the UN inspectors to survey the infected area, of course they deny the allegation and are playing a sick game as the longer they keep these inspectors away so they can be sure that the agent used has dissipated and vanished, that would allow them to say "We told you so", I am told that the children suffer less as they absorb the agent quicker than adults so die quicker, if that is any consolation to their parents that is if they have any children left, they say the refugee level includes one million children, I am so sad that there are so many, they are now living in tents, no proper food or education, all the rights that we expect for own, just what will happen to them is up in the air, when will this carnage finish???, many years to come it seems, the fact that many more children will suffer  is really not acceptable, governments of the World just have to act to stop this sick abuse of children!!!!!.

Midle East

Well now Egypt has totally exploded, the army is not going to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to be in control of the government, the mistake that they made  was to try and take total power ignoring the army, they should have realised that religion will not prevail over a national army, It might not be right but that is how it is, Syria is not a lot different in that case two religious factions fighting each other one side with the help of the army, when you look around the World you can lay much of the problems that countries have at the door of religion, what does this mean for Egypt, well the tourist is not likely to go to the country, and if the past is anything to go by it will be many years before the economy recovers, the US is trying to be seen as not interfering but you  can bet that they are involved in some way, the Suez Canal is run by Egypt so it has to be in the best interests for the US to have some pull over the Egyptian government, the Egyptian army is solely responsible for the death and destruction that is being meted out, common sense says that you take cover! keep off the street!, do nothing to aggravate them!, but of course some want to be martyrs for the cause!, how silly is that?, you have a family or are part of a family religion only goes so far a family goes so much more, so I hope that stupidity stops and people start talking before many more are killed.
