(154,021 posts)You are aware that this is not the first time that the Syrian people try this right? The last time around, under dad, it was at a cost of an estimated 120K dead. In fact, it happened soon after the Yon Kippur War and the Russians ran a very nice air bridge with all kinds of toys for the security forces to use.
While Syria is indeed in the PNAC who's who, not everything or everybody happens at the behest of the US... or the CIA.
Oh and Libya, while it had help from people you might despise, rose for internal reasons. And just like oh a certain set of 13 colonies who were part of a backwards war between England and France, we got a tad of help. So did the Libyans. In the world where I live things are a tad more gray than just PNAC is behind every bush. In fact. PNAC has had little to do with the mess in ... ISRAEL, yes the one NOT reported, for the most part, by our lovely corporate press.
in fact, all this is part of this global revolution under way and a reaction to globalization... and at this point... I'd even say the PNAC boys are losing control Oh and losing is charitable.
Just some food for thought here.
