Me, I want to see an international peace conference, with all parties forcible brought to the table.

How do you propose to do that?  And what do you expect it to achieve?

Heck, do we even know who all the parties are?  I doubt it.

Where is today's Guernica and Hemingway?

Plenty of Guernicas.

Biggest difference is that this one does not split the rest of the world into two competing ideological camps.

Biggest similarity is that both sides are unpleasant.

I don't know, I do think we have a split developing.  One side is for democracy, another side is for authoritarianism.

Haven't you been watching the coverage, there are now some pretty thoroughly flattened town in Syria.  Not sure if any have been devastated in one go, but there do appear to have been plenty of bombing/artillery strikes that have killed around a hundred in one go. 

Someone needs to paint it.

I agree, somebody needs to paint the targets with laser designators

No. Neither side is for democracy. There were democrats early on and we didn't help them, they got killed or sold their souls to the crazies. The same happened in spain, we didn't help the democrats and they got killed or compromised when the crazies helped got help from fascists and crazies.

The best chance to help has already passed, it passed some time ago, before Obama even used the words "Red Line" for the first time.

Hey Obama hasn't outlined his military strategy yet, so I get to keep my cards close to my chest (nothing to do with the chance that it's not fully thought out yet). 

Peace.

Regardless of where you hold them, everyone can tell you've got 7-2 unsuited.

The Bombing of Guernica is a leftist myth.  The National Review said so.

http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1798&dat=19730117&id=lx8fAAAAIBAJ&sjid=J40EAAAAIBAJ&pg=5234,3618495  The author Jeffery Hart writes a similar article in this news paper and refers to how he brought up the subject in the National Review a little earlier.  I do not have access to National Review archives, but his article on the 5th of January was called "The Great Guernica Fraud', so I imagine it was similar to this news paper article.

National Review was also in favor of segregation, but I'll let you find that one.

Recently I was wondering if the Syrian Civil War would make a better consim than the Libyan Civil War or vice versa.

I'm not really sure what happened in Libya could be described as a civil war, both sides were so inept, it's a wonder they ever managed to find each other.  I guess the long relative straight line in the desert helped a lot.   

A large part of the significant military killing was actually carried out be NATO air resources. 

I'd classify Libya as much close to the Cuban civil war than the growing bloodbath of Syria.

That would make Libya almost perfectly analogous to the Spanish Civil War (if Orwell is anything to go by.)

Did you not see the coverage of the 'war' the Libyan rebels were staggeringly inept, save perhaps for those besieged in Misurata. NATO essentially one the war for them.

So the Syrian civil war has been going on for while now, so can we yet compare it to the Spanish Civil War ?

Honestly, I don't think it's that romantic.
