I love it when Islamists go at it! In this case its the admitted secular regime of Bashar Assad vs. Al-Qaeda. During the Iraq war, Syria played footsie with AL-Qaeda. They allowed AL-Qaeda to establish safe havens and use Syrian territory to attack American soldiers in Iraq. Assad although himself very Secular as a minority Alawite, is allied with 12ther Shiite Iran and Hizballah. Now, an Islamic piss match is beginning in Syria. AL-Qaeda has declared war on the Assad regime and there ar reports, AL-Qaeda fighters are coming in from Iraq!
(AP) BAGHDAD – Al Qaeda’s chief has called on Muslims from other countries to support rebels in Syria seeking to overthrow President Bashar Assad, saying they cannot depend on the West for help.
Ayman al-Zawahri, in a videotaped statement released late Saturday, asked Muslims in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey to join the uprising against Assad’s “pernicious, cancerous regime.” All four states border Syria.
A senior Iraqi security official also told the Associated Press on Saturday that intelligence over the last four months has revealed a flow of al Qaeda-linked fighters from the northern Iraqi city of Mosul into Syria.
The comments by both the Iraqi official and al-Zawahri came a day after two suicide car bombers struck security compounds in Aleppo, a Syrian city that had been relatively peaceful throughout the country’s 11-month-uprising. Though there was no claim of responsibility, suicide bombings are a hallmark of al Qaeda.
[....]
The Iraqi official said at least two Syrian suicide bombers who trained in Mosul have crossed the border to join the fight in Syria.
Fighters armed with guns and explosives also have headed from Iraq to Syria, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss intelligence.
I hope they kill each other and Syria collapses into anarchy.

The difference was that in Libya, Qaddafi was our ally.. Assad is our enemy. SO is AL-Qaeda. I’m for staying out of it let them destroy each other.
Somebody said al qaeda might be after the stuff Saddam hid there just before the war.
Too bad nobody gives a crap that muslims line up artillary and shell civilians.
Assad vs. Al-Qaeda, I don’t know which one will win but I bet the Syrian people lose!
No wonder muslims hate us, life sucks for them.
The big losers will be any non-muslims around.

Muslims have no one but themselves to blame for the State of the Mohammedan world. Their evil faith destines them to despotism, and despotism and slavery are the cornerstones on which Islam is built. We had nothing to do with that, and despite our best efforts, the primitive nature of their religion/political ideology will win out. As we are seeing in Egypt and Libya. And Afghanistan, and Iraq. Iran, Pok-ee-ston, Indionesia…
Isn’t al-Qaeda “declaring war” on anyone a bit redundant?

They would have to completely rethink their strategy because they’ll have officially lost their base, and it’s clear that many of them are power-addicted imbeciles living in a different era.
They won’t have a chance.

Not entirely.
Back in the early ’60s, there was a very strong strain of conservative thought that was on board with decriminalizing what were then referred to as “victimless crimes”; the criminalization of prostitution, of homosexual behavior, drug addiction, etc.
In 1961 the State of Illnois was one of the first of several states to enact the Model Penal Code. “Model codes” were hot stuff back then, and the grand-daddy of them all, the Uniform Commercial Code, was actually a good idea. The UCC tried to make the laws of contract and commerce clearer, simpler, and more uniform by passing the Code through every state legislature—in other words, leaving the federal system, the distinction between what is the proper province of the federal government and of the state governments intact, but still standardizing insofar as possible the commercial law among the different states.
The success of the UCC prompted the creation of the Model Penal Code, which decriminalized homosexual behavior (in some states, the courts would impose a twenty-year term of imprisonment on someone convicted of homosexual activity), prostitution, etc.; the idea being that these were matters of individual choice or behavior, not a matter for the law to regulate. You can argue either side of this position, but it should be clear how a certain strain of mind-your-own-business conservatism would accept this as appropriate for the civil law, wholly apart from personal opinions regarding the conduct in question.
I do know that Chief Master Sgt. Billy Waugh would not lead his team into a fire fight with these dumb ass rules in force.
In fact many of U.S. in Vietnam/Laos did not follow the written orders, we had our on Oral Orders Only to go by.

I’m talking about legal scholars who were conservative in the sense of thinking that government should get out of as much as it could, and who were active in the Fifties (which is when the Model Penal Code was drafted and shopped around) in order to try and reduce the amount that government interfered in people’s lives.
They may have been wrong in their efforts, or the application of their principles, but the MPC was intended as a conservative measure in the sense of simplifying the legal system and getting government out of areas where it theoretically did not belong.
Utopianism is always a snare, and one can argue that the conservatives of that time should have known better. But people are the prisoners of their own time, and you have to understand how ideas which we rightly regard as leftwing insanity today even affected conservatives in the wake of America being the one nation left standing after WWII.
