Syria is not Libya


Do these two countries differ in such a way that we would rush to protect one but not the other? They must because we were very quick to prevent a 'massacre' in Libya but not in Syria. They are both Arab states run by despots. Both have attacked and murdered their citizens, which some would consider a massacre. A possible difference: one has oil, the other doesn't. Could that possibly be the reason we were so concerned with the humanitarian tragedy in one country but not the other? I wonder!
