1. Double Standards
   

   Israel proclaims "we know what to do" if Syria acquires this missile defense system from Russia?
   What an arrogant double standard!
   Israel can have the most advanced weapons and a full-scale nuclear arms program, but Syria is not allowed to acquire a "defensive" system?
   I don't support Assad. Nor do I support the motley crew that isbthe rebel movement.
   But what right does Israel have to interfere in Syrian defense?
   If Syria said the same in relation to Israel's advanced weaponry, Israel would laugh it off and dare them to try something.
   But because they have the big bully US at their backs, they live by these double standards.
   Already Israel has pre-emptively struck targets within Syria.
   If they were to target this defense system, I think Syria has every right to strike back with equal measure.
   The US and allies should not be interfering in the world to serve Elite special interests.
   And Israel should not be bullying in the MIddle East.
   What goes around often comes around.
   I don't condone violence, but I'm not blind the ways of the world either.
