Anonymous Defaces Syrian Government's Website

[TopGearFanatic]

I'd like to see the Syrian government go after Anonymous, but I doubt they are capable.

I'd like to see the Syrian government crushed and replaced with a secular democracy.

We can hope.

I think you really need to look up and examine the underling ideology of Arab Socialism, and what does Pan-Arabism means for the Ba'ath Party in Syria.

Hey I didn't say that's what would happen.

I think Syria already is secular.

 

[TopGearFanatic]

Why were you on the site anyway?

 

[Ajidica]

I think Syria already is secular.

They are secular to the extent that secular ideas are useful to al-Assad. Saddam did the same thing. He trumped up his secular Arabism to gain support from the west to oppose those evil Shia Iranians while at the same time presenting himself as the savior of the Sunnis and protecting the holy places.

How do we know that Anonymous is comprised solely of sheltered nerds?

Who else knows how to do this besides the Government?

 

[naterator]

This defacing of their public website will no doubt bring the Syrian government to it's knees.

That being said, I am certainly glad they are finding people who deserve to be irritated instead of just screwing with playstation network.

Could be hackers from Turkey

You were joking, but I think you just hit the jackpot.
What was said of Syria during the Lebanese Civil War? The syrians will fight the israelis down to the last lebanese? Well, not the turks are willing to fight the syrian government in order to enlarge their influence over Syria, down to the last syrian foolish enough to heed their encouragement.

They should have learned something from their failed attempts in Central Asia and drop their dreams of being a regional power already.

seems kind of hypocrite; bunch of sheltered nerds preaching to people risking their lives on the street.

... then again from what scant knowledge i have of the situation i should probably approve the message.

Well, this is the best they can do to support the Syrian people; it's not like the average American teenager (or adult for that matter) can acquire a visa or even a flight to Syria.

Also, this isn't the first time that Anonymous has supported the Arab Spring. They've hacked the websites of Egypt and Tunisia I believe, and might've hacked Libyan websites.

So you are pro-hacking the government?

Which government?
