    Syrian people rise against your tyrants and let freedom reign in Syria. Let us take over the regime and start a new and democratic one. Let’s rid us all of the Iranian and Hezbollah influence and tiny alwites sect who have overstayed their welcome.
    Time to kill Hezbollah and Iranian mullahs. I hope that will happen soon.

    1. Hi,
      I wonder what Hassan Nasrallah doing at this moment?

        Hassan Nassrallah is planning to deviate from Syria by causing problems in Lebanon and across the border. So he can help Syria fight alongside in trying to stop the Syrian people to rebel against their Tyrants. I bet you the kidnapping of 7 Estonians who were being watched coming from Syria. The bombing in Zhlah Church look very suspicious and someone inside is trying to cause strife in order to again from what’s been happening around them. All I know is the last 2 decades Hezbollah is always up to something and they’re the ones who have acting on so many different fronts in order to change attentions. They seem to always come up with a different problem so people can be distracted from attacking Hezbollah.
        What is Nassrallah is doing now. He’s being the busy little devil he is and always be.

  10. It appears that secterian movements are in the making in Syria. It has been carefully disguised under different pretexts. Although, democratics reforms are urgently needed, but from what I see and hear from the demnstrators themselves as well as
    their supporters (expatriates) abroad is not encouraging. The Saudi instigators have been planning this for a long time. Unfortunately the young pro-democracy will eventually be overcome, then we will be ready to declare Syria as IRAQ # 2.

      Ramia it appears that when you people don’t like what’s going on you’re always accusing someone. But when the opposing side accuses HA of instigating trouble in Bahrain you want to deny it and on top of it encourage it.
      What’s the difference then between Bahrain and Syria? In Bahrain at least people have more provided for them than Syria. On top of it Syria has been oppressing their own people for a long time. The population has been growing and Syria has not moved much in all sides. What do you really expect? in the end you’re accusing Saudi Arabia.. Well if its then Syrian regime deserve it for what have done to everyone and especially Lebanon. I hope the regime will be gone in no time..Inshjallah.

      1. Well done Mag.
