Lot's of news,mostly bad

The Syrian military are doing exercises today? Another code name for let's kill the freedom fighters. Then once again Ass-ad says's the American government aids rebels with arms and weapons.I hope this is true!! Then ...Assad said he would not step down. Is it me or has he lost but is killing as many as he can just for blood-thirsty spite. his generals and many of the lower ranks already swicthed sides or are seeking asylum. As you might know the fighting spilled over to Libya with 5 or more dead.. Libya has had a tough 60 years and now, for the first in that time line, there was voting in the country. That is a good thing. Let's hope women in that part of the world catch a break form all they went through. Afghanistan got a 16 billion boost from major donors until 2015. With all the corruption i wonder how much will be used for the people of that country?  Russia--Putin flys over flooded area and is concerned over the 150 Russians who died. OF course he is not concerned over the 12,000 dead because he and China supplied guns and lager weapons to his buddy Assad. Anyway  i wish the people in Russia well. I could write about France and Germany but you folks can look that up an the Internet. It is pouring a wall of rain in my part of Alabama. just 10 minutes ago the sun was out and brite,the weather was hot and humid as i attemted to go for a swim.
