[QUOTE]Pope Francis called for prayers Wednesday for 12 Orthodox nuns reportedly taken by force from their convent in Syria by rebels. Religious officials in the region have said the women were abducted, but a Syrian opposition activist said they were merely removed for their own safety.
The 12 nuns join two bishops and a priest who are already believed to be held by hard-line rebels, deepening concerns that extremists in the opposition's ranks are targeting Christians. Syria's minorities, including Christians, have largely sided with President Bashar Assad's government or have tried to stay on the sidelines of the country's civil war, fearing for their fate if the rebels, increasingly dominated by Islamic extremists, come to power.[/QUOTE]

This is what happens when you have an armed force marching on gunpowder, heroin, and fanaticism.

We didn't support the good guys when there WERE good guys to support. Now they're gone, and we keep seeing the rebels do shit like this because these are the ones who had what it took to survive on their own, however despicable their actions are.

The Syrian rebels were sort of fucked from Day 1, and the big reason so many people were against intervention back at the time was because it was pretty much known how it all was going to turn out if the rebels were successful.
