With ISIS seemingly almost defeated, who is winning then? How are the "rebels" doing against Assad's state forces?
If Assad is close to winning, maybe he can get on with rebuilding Syria and these millions (there were only 21M there before this 3-4 way battle) can return to their homeland? Unless of course many of them in the camps are not Syrian and are just looking for n excuse to enter Europe?
I never really understood why Assad was seen as the baddie, when he was fighting ISIS and a load of "rebel" fighters. He certainly didn't seem to have the same rep as Gadaffi or Saddam and had even been invited to the UK with his wife on a special visit a few years prior. |
It seems in Arab culture you either have a dictator, Assad, Gaddaffi, Sadaam or a dictatorial family, Saudi, or dictatorial states, UAE or religious dictatorships, Iran, Lybia.
The ones with any nominal view to democracy - Iraq now, Afghanistan just don't seem to work.
The only one that works of a fashion is Turkey (nominally European Arab culture?), and that's regressing since they allowed religion into politics.
Is there a proper working Arab democracy? Egypt maybe? ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I heard the oppisite, they're Islamic State members captured by the kurds.

Apparently that's how Saddam made Iraq work, he kept religion out of government, interesting given all the religious nutjobs in the west who think the teachings of Jebus are our answer.
Some countries aren't evolved enough ready for democracy*, we do more harm than good removing dictators who keep the thing together. Saddam, Gaddafi etc.. Egypt was a strange one, iirc they got their 'revolution', realised a radical Muslim government was worse and went back to what they had before. Was Tunisia the only one that worked out during the Arab spring?
*although I'm not sure we have that over here |

MOAR!!!
'I miss my mum, pasties and Doctor Who': White Muslim convert 'Jihadi Jack' reveals from Syrian jail that he wants to come home and claims he never joined ISIS - but admits thinking Paris attacks were 'a good thing'
Muslim convert Jack Letts - dubbed Jihadi Jack after becoming the first white Briton to join ISIS - has revealed he wants to return home to see his mother.
The Oxford-born 23-year-old was speaking from the Kurdish prison where he has been held for two years for fighting for the terror group.
He moaned that he missed interacting with people, mostly his mother who he hasn't spoken to since his imprisonment, and home comforts including pastries and Doctor Who.
He told ITV News: 'If the UK accepted me then I'd go back to the UK, it's my home. But I don't think that's going to happen.
'I miss people mostly. I miss my mum. I know that sounds a bit toddler-ish,' he said.
'What else do I miss? I miss pasties. It's not really English - sort of Scottish isn’t it? I miss pasties. And Doctor Who. Sounds a bit stupid… that’s all.
'Even if I could just see my mum - I would like just a phone call, I don't know if Britain can do that for me here, but I'd like just a phone call to my mum - it's been two years.
Letts admitted at the time he felt the 2015 Paris attacks were justified after seeing children killed by coalition jet bombing raids during his time in Raqqa.
'To be honest at the time I thought it was a good thing,' he said, when asked about his reaction to the terror attacks that left 130 dead in the French capital.
He said when asked about the Bataclan atrocities: 'At the time, I thought it was a good thing.
'At the time we had this idea, living in Raqqa, getting bombed every five minutes by coalition jets. I've seen children burnt alive.
'You have this idea of 'why shouldn't it happen to them?''
But he claimed he has since had a change of heart, and sympathy for the innocent people killed, as he 'realised that they had nothing to do with it'.
Letts holds dual nationality through his Canadian father John Letts and British mother Sally Lane.
He revealed he hadn't spoken to his parents in two years and doubted either country would take him in because 'no one really cares'.
He told the broadcaster that he had lived on 'the Oxford Street of Raqqa', and married an Iraqi woman who has given birth to the couple's son.
'If I could make a request. I'm probably not in a position to make requests. That's it all, really. I miss my mum.'

What's the point in teaching kids about it? It's hardly like they get a choice themselves.
It's the stone age retards who hide FGM and fail to report it, who need educating. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

The parents would probably have an option to exclude their kids from it. Christ, they can still keep kids out of sex education if they want.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 63 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
