The ultimate explanation of the Syrian conflict... NOT!

President Assad (who is bad) is a nasty guy who got so nasty his people rebelled and the rebels (who are good) started winning.

But then some of the rebels turned a bit nasty and are now called Islamic State (who are definitely bad) and some continued to support democracy (who are still good).

How America created AL Qaeda, ISIS and potential terrorists in ordinary American homes

By Arindam Chaudhuri

Terrorism in Paris shocked you but today's news of a man killing three in Colorado Springs planned parenthood clinic didn't shock you much? Have some patience and read this article till the end and you will believe in my article heading forever and realize why what happened today at Colorado Springs is as shocking an act of terrorism. And more importantly how from Paris to Colorado Springs it's the American Capitalism which has blood in its hands.

You often hear of college shootouts in America and it seems to you 2/3 such happen each year, right? You often hear of some more mass shootings and think that about 12/15 happen every year, right?

Wrong. Make a really wild guess.

ISIS ON THE RUN, RUSSIA-SYRIA CLEAR PALMYRA, HOMS, SET TO STORM RAQQA SOON

SEEMA MUSTAFA. Wednesday, December 9, 2015

NEW DELHI: The Russians are set to finish Daesh “in less than a year” with a major war driving the terrorists out of the safe havens they had occupied in Syria. 

The Syrian Army is just three days away from controlling Aleppo, and has already cleared large parts of Palmyra, and cleared Homs altogether of Daesh elements, according to Syrian Ambassador to India Riad Abbas. The Russian air power has cleared the path for the Syrians to take control of their country again, with the troops on the ground making steady progress as a result. 

Ambassador Abbas who for the first time in the past three years sounded very optimistic told The Citizen, “finally the war is actually against Daesh. The Russians are driving it, as till now everyone but these militants were being killed.”

November, 2015

Turkey's shooting down of a Russian plane over Syria has dangerously escalated tensions in an already volatile region.

Bashar Al-Assad Interview: “Al Qaeda was Created by the Americans With the Help of Saudi Wahhabi Money”. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar Support ISIS

Damascus, SANA-President Bashar al-Assad gave an interview to Italian TV channel RAI UNO. Below you will find the full transcript of this interview:

Question 1: Mr. President, thanks for the opportunity of talking to you. Let’s start from Paris. How did you react to the news coming from Paris?

President Assad: We can start by saying it’s a horrible crime, and at the same time it’s a sad event when you hear about innocents being killed without any reason and for nothing, and we understand in Syria the meaning of losing a dear member of the family or a dear friend, or anyone you know, in such a horrible crime. We’ve been suffering from that for the past five years. We feel for the French as we feel for the Lebanese a few days before that, and for the Russians regarding the airplane that’s been shot down over Sinai, and for the Yemenis maybe, but does the world, especially the West, feel for those people, or only for the French? Do they feel for the Syrians that have been suffering for five years from the same kind of terrorism? We cannot politicize feeling, feeling is not about the nationality, it’s about the human in general.
