don't know there are some people who name every friday but it doesn't interest me i think you should ask them if you are home i think i heard something on t.v. in t.v. the trail led us to a website called syrian revolution it is here that the name of the coming friday is usually published supposedly after people vote for it it said it represents all of positions groups strangely enough the syrian national cultivation committee the opposition within the country say they have nothing to do with this site oh another place with voting is carried out cannot be accessed from syria of course the water is electronic what you can about be sure it is real or not it's honest or not while it's not clear who really stands behind the idea some names like china is killing us or no pito to just an agenda that's not looking to compromise on sic

to call for average sarah marusek pace researcher for syracuse university says the new libya i think changed much from the catastrophe era state the only difference is the international community is now turning a blind eye to crimes against humanity there. the country is in chaos right now it's heartbreaking and outrageous as president obama said about the situation in syria no the situation in libya is that way we hear about militias torturing people who are suspected of supporting qaddafi in the past and there was a hideous story about someone's thinkers getting cut off because he was horsewhipped on the hand repeatedly over and over again until his fingers were severed these are crimes against humanity that are happening in libya and there's no outcry by the international community the same international community that called for a no fly zone in libya to save civilians to save people's lives so really it's a very dangerous situation we don't know who has what capacity right now to attack
