Libyan-Irish fighter speaks out about the horrific situation from the frontline in Syria

Well the man himself has stated that at the moment the more fundalmentalists aren`t in control. I doubt that. However as for the mans reasons for being there and fighting for what he believes to be a just cause, why should he be arrested on return to Ireland. I don`t think its the rebels who have demolished cities, unless he`s telling porkies about his groups armoury.

all the west has done in Iraq Libya, Egypt,and Afghanistan and now Syria is to pave the way for extremist Muslim brotherhood sharia law fundamentalist Islam,the concept of democracy is something that the tribal Arab states will not and can not embrace.not even taking into account the enormous gulf between shia and Sunni.i don't consider the vast expenditure of weaponry and lost lives,the total destruction of 3 countries,4 and 5 coming up to be justifiable,millions of deaths and ruined lives,crippled blinded maimed people,on going instability,total anarchy,total infrastructure destruction everywhere,whats to be proud of,made all the armament supplying people rich though didn't it.how can what we have done on the scale we have done it be better than leaving these countries alone,surely they were better off than being bombed back into the stone age.

The Western govts did do an intervention-in Iraq. A brutal dictator abused his people, ignored UN resolutions and thretened his neighbors. NATO came in and kicked him out, but alas, the population was only glad to greet the liberators for a couple of weeks. Then, like the Cop who tries to stop a domestic disturbance, everyone ganged up on the "good guys" and commenced to butchering each other. Certain small self-righteous countries took glee in the suffering and offered useless advice. I think that the NATO countries do not wish to repeat the same mistakes--there are lots of new ones to be made.

Its always about themselves and the 'other tribe'. Not a mention of the terrified Christians caught up in the infighting. The aim is to Islamize the whole area and eliminate anyone who does not believe the Islamic way. We have heard of the great cultural contributions they have given to the world. Well, we only have to look at the destruction and primitive mess they have created in their countries of origin. The current aim is to bring down all the governments in the Middle East / African areas and bring them under radical Islamic law. Never mind where the gunmen are from. The western world does not want to live under their dictatorship so stop the sobs of pity.

Socialist ( Middle Ground ) " Twilight Zone " ?

If Romney wins the Election in November, the Arab Spring can go back to washing dishes at the Hilton. The choice for Arabs seeking Social Reform is the same as it is for Sinnfein; Iether accept the Bi-Partisan Capitalist "Catechism", ( 0R Where O Where is Barack Obama, when you really need him ? )or get back to the Commune, and stop whining about Corruption and Human Rights, People; There is no Soicalist " Middle Ground " ( France, Romania, Spain, Italy, Chile, Greece ... )

Why does the "West" have to be everyone's saviour? Soon as they get what they want, they turn on the very people that helped.

Correction: On rereading the piece I see that this guy has an Irish mother, which I assume is how he got his Irish nationality. My other questions stand: Why is an Irishman going overseas to kill people? Will the Irish police detain this guy when he comes back? Where will he head once he has done his worst in Syria? The US?

On what basis was this guy given Irish citizenship? Why is it not revoked, now that he is participating in foreign wars? He's a Libyan, why is he killing people in Syria? Was this guy involved in some of the murders we have seen on Youtube? And why does Irish Central give Al Quaeda uncritical publicity?
