Too bad the whole post fell short at the end with the Syrian model picture. So what, if people were ugly there, you would not care as much ? That was a really bad way to finish the article, which was otherwise well written.

Sex sells. If its good enough to flog cars and energy drinks, why not at least use it for something worthy?

Stupid question: If a pornographic imagery some how increased the likely hood of help or even peace to Syria, should people use it such a tactic? Would "we" think less of them for doing so?

It would seem that it could hurt, judging by the weaponry the beautiful carry.
