I am sure they want peace and now shelter and food and water. The big problem in Syria is that Assad is a secular/Alawite, sort of like Sadam. A complete Hannibal Lector type guy. But so was Sadam and Gaddafi. They breed a lot of those guys over there. Taliban! Now religious jihadist from all corners of the ME are coming to Syria to fight a holy war; and are coming from as far away as Pakistan. Pakistan is sunnie and with us leaving Afghanistan they are leaving there to fight in the holy war. And they don't have jobs, so nothing to hold them back. And their numbers are near infinite,. Neither bush, nor it seems Obama comprehend infinite! It is an important concept because it defines what is possible in the long run. And what it suggests is stay on the outside but feed the secular intellectuals on the inside and care for the injured. We cannot get in the middle of it, BECAUSE they have -------infinite, numbers-and we don't-loll!!!! And we cannot afford infinite but they can.

Yew rockin' at a sports bar washing your Patriots. Now you need one of these... Could The Fork and Knife Chopsticks Be the Only Utensil You Ever Need? RelatedThere's an eternal battle going on in my head on what's the greatest utensil in the entire world. I flip with a fork but then flop to chopsticks, I side with the spear and then Benedict Arnold to extended fingers. It's never settled. Different types of food require different utensils. If only there was one utensil to rule them all, if only I knew this fork and knife chopsticks existed. The beauty of this Fork & Knife Chopstick (it needs a much better name if it ever wants to legitimately enter the utensil conversation) is that it lowers the learning curve of using chopsticks. At it's base set, it's a fork and a knife. When you run into something you'd need chopsticks for, you slide the knife through the fork's slot and you'll create a set of hinged chopsticks. Basically, you'll get a pair of chopsticks that springs itself into perfect form and shape. Unlike a spork, which is probably the worst Frankenstein utensil of them all, this Fork & Knife Chopstick (again, that name needs to change) could combine the best of every world. You can buy them at Vat19 for 10 bucks. [ Vat19 via FoodBeast]
