Syria's war: An opportunity for radical fighters? Add a Comment
- Perhaps a little bit of notice or warning next time before showing video on national television of Syrian soldiers being executed. This certainly was in poor taste and judgement.

- Although it is always sad to see innocent people targeted your story did not address the obvious concerns about garnering support for a faction that will ultimately be an outspoken enemy of the US. It may well turn out to be a prolific terrorist state with access to possibly a billion dollars worth of military hardware that will no doubt be pointed in any direction necessary to create and sustain instability, and anti American sentiment, throughout the region. While you attempt to gain public support for the innocents, and if so succeeding, it is necessary to evaluate what your position will be after several years of American military envolvement and thousands of killed and wounded American military personell. Since there are ready avenues for humanitarian assistance the only reason to manipulate US public sentiment is for military intervention. Your story obviously lites the candle at both ends. This is a good example of why Americans do not trust the news media.
