@ Kijangnim,
I stand corrected, but my understanding was EU was syrias biggest trade partner before the embargo.

Or maybe the oil out of Syria is just not enough motivation for the west, at about 100,000 barrels a day and soon to become a net importer of oil by 2015 with dwindling oil reserves, unlike Iraq or Libya.

Again im just trying to understand the motivation behind the very decisive action against Iraq and Libya, including peddling falsehoods in the pretext of protecting Iraqis and Libyans against their tyrant Leaders, Is Assad a lesser tyrant or there just isnt enough motivation in terms of reward in Syria.
