War in Syria: Will spillover spark regional conflict?

More than two years after the Syrian revolt began, the conflict has taken a frightening turn in recent days with Israel striking Damascus twice, Syria threatening to retaliate and growing evidence that chemical weapons may have been used. With Lebanon ever so fragile, Turkey on edge, Jordan flooded with refugees and an international community still deeply divided, could we be witnessing the perfect storm that will plunge the whole region into conflict?

FRANCE24 terrible mentality

by Anonyme - 16/03/2012 - 13:07

Trying to communicate with anyone at FRANCE24 is impossible.
No telephone calls accepted. The mentality is a disgrace.
But not as much a disgrace as your whitewashing of the genocide France did in Algeria 50 years ago. Who the hell are you bastards to point the figure at Turkey when you cannot face up to your own record of genocide.
