In reply to the discussion: Iran ex-president says Syria government launched gas attacks: news agency [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)31. I'm paying attention, just haven't run across your posts much. I hope these are in your Journal.
If Kitty Wampus hadn't said something about checking her Journal last night, I would have missed a lot of information.
I find this OP to show a path to a just peace in Syria made through the pressure of its allies, the most lasting kind in most cases. No matter what our issues are with Iran, no nation is all of one mind. It's the loud mouths that try to speak for all.
I'm disappointed those who have called Kerry a liar are not here Recing this as something to bolster their isolationist stance. This is a way out to avoid a military strike and that is what they say their goal is. Not just to bash a Dem administration for a GOP win in 2014.
This OP should garner the Recs bashing threads do. Because it's about saving lives, isn't it?

I prefer to stay neutral and gather data, some which I don't like, then think about it.

Iranians said it, so no one will call them liars. Positive push to stop oppressing Syrians.
