Hi-Res Pictures of the Syrian Conflict. Shocking.



it's exactly what you think. It did piss me off too, especially the smile on that soldier's face at the last shot.

I see, found the link
Syria in Ruins - In Focus - The Atlantic

Looks like when FSA kills an unarmed man he's "suspected to be with pro-government forces" but when a pro-government sniper kills an unarmed man it's a "civilian"

Eh, ok... Both scenes (Frame #8 and #28) look like civilians to me. Media; so stupid.

In other news, you can now donate to the Syrian Support Group fund if you're interested in supporting war, war crimes, and Al Qaeda: Syria: US clears way for Americans to start donating money to rebels - Telegraph

Good luck, humanity. We live in some really ridiculous times.
 
It's a terrible thing yes. However the people of Syria are standing up for themselves. When will we finally start doing this in America?

When the CIA starts sniping people from rooftops, and throwing a few grenades around the US. Rebel when you're told, damnit!
 
This is the most amazing series to me (And they missed it). It shows the moment of death for a RPG team when they get hit by a air-burst high-explosive 125mm tank round.

I'm becoming convinced that America would go quietly into the night.
 
Has there ever been a time in the history of the human race in which the middle east was not engulfed in all out war?

I honestly can't think of any time in which the middle east was not blowing each other apart on a daily, bloody basis.

Religion. It fucks without bias and it is no fan of lubrication. I'm surprised there isn't a debate about violence yet.
 
^ It's not religion. It's human beings. Sorry... but blaming everything on religion is getting really tiring.

I'm not even religious. But to not realize that human beings have a tendency to want to group together and kill people in other groups, whether that be along religious, political, philosophical, territorial, or moral lines...

Religion is not the problem, it is just something that a much deeper human tendency/problem is grafted on to.

You get rid of religion, you still have the underlying problem.

We are still fresh out of the caves, jungle, savanna, whatever...

Good luck bros.

/end rant.
 
Sad and unfortunate reality. If you look at the 4th picture in the OP, you will see the guy on the left smiling as he shoots the un-manned guy.

We're talking about the same Middle East, right?
 
Expect this to be nation-wide if Assad falls. I truly hope China and Russia step-up to the plate and backs his ass along with Iran and wipes-out those fsa scum. This shit hell of a so-called war is analogous to Mexico sponsoring a small army that attacks Arizona and starts slaughtering civilians because the US has a some hard-core right-wing president (a romney on steroids).

I used to be very patriotic but I seriously despise the political class in the UK (and the US, but it's not my country so ...) particularly for their approach to this war. I gave them the benefit of the doubt in the first Iraq war. The second Iraq war was so fucking cynically revolting - international Capital V the rest. Libya ... makes me want to vomit.

I remember being in a church during the time of the second Iraq war and a preacher yelling about how he loved watching those bombs go down in that shock and awe bullshit. God I wanted to strangle him ....

Better than civilian. These are 'rebels' and 'freedom fighters'.

After all they're with the Free Syrian Army and Hillary Clinton thinks they're just swell. How could they do wrong?
