Check out this video, a chopper going down in Syria then vaporizes in an explosion before hitting the ground.

Mixed attitudes to seeing a fellow aviator go down like that. On the other hand they are fighting for a despotic regime. While you have to wonder have to wonder what kind of people the rebels are.

Time will tell.

The Syrian "Regime" had a strange idea of keeping religion out of education :old:

Those "Freedom Fighters" don't look very educated but very religeous :old:

All these spontaneous uprisings amazing really :)

The Syrian government also have the strange views on human rights. As in they don't allow you any.

If there's one thing that amazes me about all this Arab revolt stuff is how many closet supporters of repressive dictatorial regimes have revealed themselves. Fanboys of Gadaffi and Assad etc.

Who'd have thought?

Yeah, thats a charming bunch. Right up there with Saddam. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/33544/World/Region/Atrocities-haunt-Hama-survivors--years-on-.aspx We have one errant bomb kill a civilian and the world screams. The Syrian Govt has been slaughtering its citizens for decades and they still make the UN Human Rights commission. :rofl The only problem is we might end off being better off with the tyrant.

This.


Look what happened in Iraq and Libya. It's already been shown that "those people" can't govern themselves. Now the inmates are running the asylum.

The British government and the US were quick to forgive Gadaffi and the Irish Terrorists when it suited them for political gain.

The Saudi regime is funding all of these militants and nothing is said, their human rights and dictatorial non democratic is never questioned because they sell oil to the western regimes and buy Trillions of dollars of armaments.

Everyone knows what is going on in the middle east, its called Empire Building.

Lots of money being made from arms deals I believe.
