Was speaking to a syrian girl who works for an ngo as an interpreter. She told me she and her family (including all males of fighting age) left Syria because they didn't want to get involved, and feared for their lives. She said men came in their home and threatened her father by putting a gun on his head, so he decided to flee.
I said that was disgraceful. If you can fight then you ought to stay back and fight. I wouldn't mind if the women and children decided to flee, but all males that could fight against isis should have stayed.
She seemed extremely offended, and she said she didn't want to discuss it anymore.
The main problem with those that decided to leave Syria is what happens if they choose to go back when the country becomes stable. How the fuck will they face the people who actually fought isis and all other islamic crazies that wanted to destroy Syria? WTF will they say to them? And how will they be received by them?

You'd think the whole Libya debacle would be a learning experience for them, but apparently no.
>Libya before the NATO intervention 1. In Libya a home is considered a natural human right In Gaddafi’s Green Book it states: ”The house is a basic need of both the individual and the family, therefore it should not be owned by others”. Gaddafi’s Green Book is the formal leader’s political philosophy, it was first published in 1975 and was intended reading for all Libyans even being included in the national curriculum.
2. Education and medical treatment were all free Under Gaddafi, Libya could boast one of the best healthcare services in the Middle East and Africa. Also if a Libyan citizen could not access the desired educational course or correct medical treatment in Libya they were funded to go abroad.
3. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project The largest irrigation system in the world also known as the great manmade river was designed to make water readily available to all Libyan’s across the entire country. It was funded by the Gaddafi government and it said that Gaddafi himself called it ”the eighth wonder of the world”.

4. It was free to start a farming business If any Libyan wanted to start a farm they were given a house, farm land and live stock and seeds all free of charge.
5. A bursary was given to mothers with newborn babies When a Libyan woman gave birth she was given 5000 (US dollars) for herself and the child.
6. Electricity was free Electricity was free in Libya meaning absolutely no electric bills!
7. Cheap petrol During Gaddafi’s reign the price of petrol in Libya was as low as 0.14 (US dollars) per litre.
8. Gaddafi raised the level of education Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. This figure was brought up to 87% with 25% earning university degrees.
9. Libya had It’s own state bank Libya had its own State bank, which provided loans to citizens at zero percent interest by law and they had no external debt.
10. The gold dinar Before the fall of Tripoli and his untimely demise, Gaddafi was trying to introduce a single African currency linked to gold. Following in the foot steps of the late great pioneer Marcus Garvey who first coined the term ”United States of Africa”. Gaddafi wanted to introduce and only trade in the African gold Dinar – a move which would have thrown the world economy into chaos.

>Libya after the NATO intervention 1. Failed state, country is ruled by militias and terrorists. 2. Literal market for slavery. Blacks who want to cross into Europe are treated like slaves and beaten. 3. No one wants to go to Libya any more.
How convenient there's a media blackout as well. No reporting from Libya, because it shows how the entire Arab Spring was a farce that made things worse.
