How can she talk with recent U.S. acts of aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan?

By 'catastrophic assault' I guess she means that she's hoping for (and financing) a 9/11 or 7/7 style attack in downtown Damascus.

Funny how the tables have turned.

Remember that the definition of terrorism is fear and violence against state institutions or civilians for political aims.

And this is exactly what Hillary is supporting, financing and promoting.

Actually this sounds more like a civil war. Terrorism is based around executing random acts of violence to instill fear in a civilian population for ideological puposes, this conflict started when the Syrian government began shelling protestors and the protestors, in turn, came to the conclusion that they didn't really like dying as much as Assad thought they would. But I'm sure it was just a miscommunication.

And this is exactly what Hillary is supporting, financing and promoting.

More like pointing out a reality that is just starting to dawn on the Chinese and Russians. The Syrian rebels are getting better at hitting military and governmental installations and there is a growing number of defectors from the Syrian military.

The mother says, "Now, stop doing that! I am going to count to three, and you better stop. One, two, three." The child responds, "Wow, mom, you can count to three" and looks away. Mom is just the messenger, and father (the rest of the world) will do nothing. NK, Iran and the rest of the children know this scenario, too.

This remarkable formulation of overtly backed 'revolutions' or more appropriately defined as coup d'etats worked out fine for the US in Libya ( albeit at the point of falling into the hands of Islamists in election ). In reality, a lot of manipulations related to the ' violence' -- everyone was shooting at everyone --> when civilians were murdered / killed --> media photos & critics pointing at 'Syria'

Indeed both Syria & revolutionary Syria -- foreigner backed (sponsored with money & weapons ) were responsible. The only victims are civilians ! Enough is enough ! The world has no more spare money to waste on destructions..

yeah well killing is bad-but I still don't get the logic of associating it with family dynamics, noriyo. Except that you may be saying that is how your family is-and what has that got to do with the price of eggs here? Quit degrading family dynamics every chance you get.
