#4 The Sunnis seem to be more intolerant than the shiites.Have we chosen the wrong side supporting MB and the Salafis in Saudi.

Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia will be proud of this religious cleansing in the Middle East.

#5 its sad to say it but the Christians really, really, really should leave Syria

the West can't protect them; in fact even if we had an administration honest enough to admit the problem we still could do little about it

#6 its sad to say it but the Christians really, really, really should leave Syria

Or we could stand aside as the Alawites encourage the Sunni Arabs to emigrate to a country more friendly to their intolerant views, such as Saudi Arabia or Egypt.

#7 Resettle the Christians on the Syrian part of the Golan Heights, and give them Israeli protection. Make that new region an independent, sovereign state with UN membership (that'll really cheese off the Paleos).

#10 This dovetails nicely with the new reports on the Houala massacre where it seems to be that mostly non-Sunnis were the victims. And that the Sunni rebels were the perps.

#11 Why should the US care about the fate of Christians in a Muslim country? We are not a Christian nation.
