Joining in with Sonia, thank you, Anita. I haven´t known, while I don´t know why but at the moment Ganesh is my favourite one among Hindu Gods. I don´t know that much though still.  Magali thank you for sharing that too.

Neil, are you serious?

I mean your comment makes it look like the rebel forces have been fighting against Syrian army, Russia and Iran for 2,5 years. And I guess they are fighting back with stones and sticks all this time. Magic, isn't it?

Russia has supplied Syrian legitimate government with weapons under old signed legal contracts in compliance with international law. All of weapons supplied are Air Defense System.

But where did the rebel forces get the weapons from? out of thin air? Oh, no, they don't have weapons, they are peaceful protesters who are fighting with stones and sticks.

I guess you meant without any DIRECT involvement of the USA. And what is the plan after the US ousts Assad? making Al-Nusra aka Syria freedom fighters aka Al Qaeda a rulling party? A wonderful solution to the crises

Interesting articles to read on the issue:

I just wonder if those who support this war are being told that it is not going to be just the attack against Syria. But Russia will support Syria in this case, most likely Iran, so it will be a large scale war? Are you in for World War III? And you will rely on this false flag operation to get in? Will the US aistrike the rebels if it is proved that it is them who used the chemical weapons?

Alex, name one single reason for Assad to use the chemical weapons, unless he wanted to invite Obama to attack?

Raffael, what I meant by ¨media is unreliable source of information¨ was exactly my reaction to the coverage of the  events in Egypt. As I lived in the neighbourhood of the mosque which the Muslim Brothers used as a sit-in. I was shocked when I heard from  the people who live there that they had to fight alongside with the police to protect themselves, and these "rebels" were armed much better than the police. And CNN, BBC call these people "peaceful rebels", though the Egyptians I talked to say that "there is no civil war in Egypt, there is a war with terrorism".  Peaceful rebels don't burn churches and fire randomly at people. I suspected that the media airs the government's version of the events, no matter the country (I don't think my country is an exception),but I didn't think it could be so hypocritical. In Russian media, they criticize both sides, the government and "the rebels" (however it didn't fail to mention that "the rebels" were armed), what does Italian media say about it?

И хотя у меня есть знакомая нетрадиционной ориентации, и я совершенно нормально к ней отношусь, даже лучше, чем к некоторым другим людям. Но меня все равно назовут гомофобкой, только потому что я не хочу, чтобы мой ребенок слушал, видел всё это, и ей это презентовали как нечто номальное. Я думаю, через лет 10-20, эти гей-активисты пойдут дальше, а в некоторых странах уже пытаются легализовать педофилию. И это будет представляться, как ¨вы лишаете ребенка удовольствия, лишаете выбора, это не извращение - это сексуальное разнообразие, тут нет никакого насилия, ведь ребенок сам может выбирать, да он понимают всё ещё лучше, чем мы взрослые, вы ущемляете его права, ах, какие же вы нетолерантные, живете в Средневековье, руководствуясь своими религиозными догмами¨. А тем временем, мы будем жить с нашими вымирающими ценностями, и, честно говоря, в такие моменты я рада, что живу в России.
