I think Germany made the sound choice in sitting this one out. I keep reading in the headlines how Daffy duck is slaughtering civilians, which is probably true to some extent but in a civil war any rebel who is injured suddenly can become a civilian casualty to the media since he is not in uniform!

I doubt Daffy duck is ordering wholesale slaughter of civilians. It seems as if his military is fighting a legitimate armed uprising.

Daffy duck said it best in his own words to Obama "What would you do if armed rebels took one of your cities by force?" Hmmm lets think about that for a minute, Any time a US state goes rogue the US government has crushed the rebellion with force or threats of force. (See US civil war)

Granted that was a long time ago but lets say for shivs and giggles Texas pulled a Stufu to the Government and said peace were out! How long before the tanks would be rolling in?

Until I know that he is targeting civilians not militants I say its a personal issue let them sort it out.
