and the meaning of "our" changes by the minute. Gaddafi had been in the camp of the "West" for years. Syria had an on-and-off-again relationship with the West, joining to smash the PLO and Left in Lebanon, joining the 1991 war against Saddam, doing renditions for Bush II. However, Syria as Somalia II is apparently a better outcome for the Empire.

On the other hand all our sympathy goes to the people of Syria who have been enduring this regime of torturers and killers.

Yet those who brought in the sectarians and al-Qaeda to "help" only strengthened Assad's hand.
