I'd say great job anti-Syria people! I think your missing my point. I'm not talking about pro-Syrian or anti-Syrian issues, I'm talking about the big picture. I just so happen to think it's wrong to present the United States as a democracy loving/spreading nation to the world when we can just as easily be ignorant to the hundreds of thousands of dissenting voices who happen to have a different opinion to US led foreign policy at the same time. You have Scott McCullan up their like the puppet he is, talking about how we must value free speech and democracy at its core, while at the same time saying..."Umm, what pro-Syrian protest!?!" It's stupid, childish, and it doesn't take care of the problem.

Not suprising a republican follows the same passion for democratic values as Stalin did. When you drown out the voices of hundreds of thousands of people who say "No!" using a tolitarian method of control, you only increase unstability in the long run. For a good example of this, look at a little thing called the American Revolution. If you want to fight for democracy, fight with democracy.

"Personally, I'm in favor of democracy, which means that the central institutions of society have to be under popular control. Now, under capitalism, we can't have democracy by definition. Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. "
