Blindness or Ignorance&Stupidity. It is utterly heartbreaking to watch. One of the most horrible photos was of a vehicle full of terrorists, grinning, with a BABY, a BABY they had stolen in the back seat.
You are a living school for me. So much to learn about this infernal world that is Islamic fundamentalism.
Excellent article, as always.
It is so frustrating about Assad having being an Alawite. Supposedly, they don't promote sharia, a reason they are hated, but could have been a promising development. They are quite unique in Islam. Assad was a monster, unfortunately.
Islam is so much in need of reform, at least from our Western perspective. But it seems impossible to expect reform in Islam. It is the reason we should tremble at the idea that the US might agree to help Saudi Arabia construct nuclear weapons, as it has wanted for a long time, with or without Iran's nuclear menace, which seems to have been resuscitated recently, after the stunning elimination of some of their nuclear outfits.
Well said!! Once I heard of the pedigree of the current leader of Syria I was concerned & same as you I was pessimistic that anything good would come from legitimizing it. So far, our concerns have proven true.

These are some very dire and from warnings.

Hopeless upon hopeless. What to do? The alternative politician was even worse. How to pick between bad and worse?
