This is a question Heroes and villains of 2011

Who were your heroes or villains of the last year, and why? Who inspired you? Who had you kicking the cat across the room? They don't have to be well known, you might even want to laud the achievements of your binman. (Note that "Nick Clegg nuff said" answers puts you straight onto our naughty list)

It's utterly frustrating that there's a country there in the middle of a civil war
The Libyans got themselves a rebel army and NATO help, and seemingly relatively few civilians were hurt during that. While the Syrians HAVEN'T raised a rebel army and are getting slaughtered.

What have we done? Pulled an oil company out of Syria? whoop de fucking do.

I'm not saying a full on invasion is right, but damnit, sanctions aren't working, and they're still trading with neighbours.

Great idea.
Let's wage yet another expensive, illegal war without point, purpose or ending. God only knows the austerity measures aren't spartan enough as they are.

I said I'm not calling for an invasion
but pressure to be put on their neighbours to do something about it.

oh, and NOT Israel, they'll just fuck everything up. Arab League members.

How about we just pay for the big guy from the train to go there
and chuck out the bad guys?

There was an excellent analysis of the situation
from Patrick Cockburn in the Indy a couple of weeks ago. Optimistic it ain't.
