    Syria: Tunisia conference will shed more blood

    BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian state-run newspaper says the Friends of Syria conference in Tunisia has encouraged "terrorists" to shed more blood.

    The Saturday commentary in Al Thawra daily singled out for criticism Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, who said during Friday's 60-nation gathering that he supported giving weapons and ammuniton to groups fighting Syria's President Bashar Assad.

    The newspaper said that the prince, by "rudely" supporting an armed opposition, became a "direct partner in shedding more Syrian blood."

    The meeting aims at halting a 11-month crackdown which the U.N. said in January had left more than 5,400 dead.

    The Syrian regime has accused the opposition of being terrorists acting out a foreign plot.

      syria won't have to bother for much longer, saudi arabia and its other arab allies criticising their crisis ridden arab neighbors are about to head off into the same crisis, the arab spring was designed for the asian countries (which have since found stable and credible forms of government) by the americans and has been modified for use on the islamic countries. not suprising that the arabs don't know this and have been foolishly supporting the illegal overthrow of governments in their region - the CIA already knew the arabian leaders don't read books.

      I guess Assad just can't imagine that his people could not love a tyrant like him.

      ما هو الدين الباطل؟ هل تُحزنك او تضايقك الجرائم المرتكبة باسم الدين؟ هل يجعلك مفهومك للعدل تنتفض إزاء ما يُخاض من حروب وما يُرتكب من ارهاب وفساد على ايدي مَن يدَّعون خدمة الله؟ لماذا يقف الدين على ما يبدو وراء هذا العدد الكبير من المشاكل؟

      لا يقع اللوم في الحقيقة على الدين ككل،‏ بل على الدين الباطل. فقد اشار يسوع المسيح،‏ وهو شخصية دينية يحترمها الناس في معظم انحاء العالم،‏ الى ان الدين الباطل يُنتج اعمالا شريرة مثلما ‹تُنتج الشجرة الفاسدة ثمرا رديئا›. (متى 7:‏ 15-17) فما الثمر الذي يُنتجه الدين الباطل؟

      What a shame for the Western press! While the situation in Syria is horrific, it is clear that there are no "Good Guys" and no "Bad Guys". What you have are two factions fighting for power...if you arm the government side, there will be more killings. If you arm the disjointed, multi-purpose opposition, there will be more killings and then they will start killing each other to gain power for their individual goals. This is like Lebanon from 1975-1980, a horrible civil war that killed hundreds of thousands.The talking heads on the tv have no answers and neither do the surrounding countries. Oh, where is John Wayne when you need him!

        Peaceful protests led to the Syrian government to gun down innocent people. Including AT FUNERALS. From there the protestors decided to DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM GENOCIDE.
        Spare us more of your stupidity and turn off your internet.
      • Adam 3 mths ago
        Agree with WildBill, John, you need to either get some new news sources or get off the internet and spare the rest of us your stupidity.
      • NutsFlipped 3 mths ago
        We have all the experience of Lebanon '75 and up untill now we have prevented it from happening because we are vigilant and quick to respond. Your spies worked very hard, but we were ahead of them and caught them at every turn.No longer can you create havoc in your neighbors with impunity and your punishment is coming soon.

      It is amazing how the Wahabs that run Saudi(they think a camel has more value than a woman) can say anything about arming the opposition when they need to be overthrown themselves! Remember 9/11 was carried out by Saudis!

      If Assad won't accept immunity and assylum, kill him ASAP. Take it or leave it, buddy. Maybe a few Tomahawks can break the regime's resolve. Otherwise, the Arabs need to get off their #$%$ and intervene.
      • NutsFlipped 3 mths ago
        you have more luck stuffing these tomahawk in uranus and you'd probably enjoy it too.

      USA is a CORPORATE OLIGARCHY - run by secret societies that perform PAGAN rituals (see "1981 ABC report about BOHEMIAN GROVE..A MUST SEE" on YouTube)...

      THESE LEADERS ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS - (They are apostates and hypocrites that slander God's name with lies, greed and murder...)

      NOTE: BUSH = KERRY = OBAMA...

      McCain and Kerry went to Egypt with GE to start bringing the corporations into that country to "save them"...

      Number of CIVILIANS killed from 9/11 attacks : 2973
      Number of BRITISH CIVILIANS killed in terrorist attacks: 52
      Number of US MILITARY killed in Iraq: 3545
      Number of CIVILIANS killed in Iraq War : 100,000 to 250,000+
      Number of CIVILIANS killed in Afghanistan by coalition forces: 35,000

      “Hands that are shedding innocent blood” have been one of the most detestable things to Jehovah ever since righteous Abel’s blood cried out from the ground. (Proverbs 6:16, 17; Genesis 4:10; Psalms 5:6)

      The Christian Greek Scriptures outline three distinct ways in which a Christian could become bloodguilty before God:

      (1) bloodshed, murder—this would include those actively or tacitly supporting the activities of a bloodguilty organization (such as Babylon the Great - the world empire of false religion - [Re 17:6; 18:2, 4] or OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE SHED MUCH INNOCENT BLOOD [Revelation 16:5, 6; compare Isaiah 26:20, 21]);

      (2) eating or drinking blood in any way (Acts 15:20)

      (3) failing to preach the good news of the Kingdom, thereby withholding the lifesaving information it contains.—Acts 18:6; 20:26, 27; compare Ezekiel 33:6-8.

      Insight on the Scriptures Volume-1 page 346 Bloodguilt (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society)

      Jesus said: "By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35)

      Ask yourself, ‘Do members of this religion display love toward all men at all times not only with words but also with actions?’

      There were Tunisians in Fallujah, Iraq attempting to kill U.S. troops. Fortunately, a member from Seal Team 3 capped them before they could do much damage. Read Chris Kyle's book. Let the Arabs figure this out.

      The misinformation spewed out by viewers in you op-ed comment section over the problems in Syria are not the usual well informed I read. I am baffled at how one day, the youth amaze me with their precociousness in America and the next day stun this 82 year old man who has learned of misconduct in handling of America's foreign policy since JFK was murdered. The man had ideas that would have created a different world than one we now have. What a shame the men who used others to kill him were not brougt to justice long ago. I grieve for the home of my ancestors which is my country.
