That just "ain't" a fair fight. Throught out history, any government that disarmed its population, controlling all the people and could do anything it liked, IE., Stalin, Moa, Pol Pot and Hitler are just some that come to mind. Killed millions and there was nothing they, the people, could do about.

You bet, Syria could be big trouble for the Middle East. Especially Israel, since they are such close friends of that state. (Said in jest, for those that can read satire.)

What will the US do if Syria attacks Israel? I would hope that we come to Israel's aid, but with the current administration, who knows. Then again, can the US afford another war in the Middle East? Where is all this money coming from to fight these "undeclared wars."

Lastly, remember that when politicans talk about gun control, what they really are talking about is "PEOPLE CONTROL." He who as the guns and gold makes all the rules.
