Regarding a potential military intervention in Syria
"As such, we cannot rejoice in the imminent strike against the regime, though we understand the rationale underpinning the sentiment. In the motivation for this strike, we do not discern the pursuit of justice; nor a display of human solidarity; nor standing by the side of those who have revolted against a brutal, tyrannical regime; nor the West’s delayed sense of responsibility for the destruction of our country beyond any possible repair in the foreseeable future. The powers that be are resorting to the use of force against our local thug for their sakes and not ours. We are not saddened, but we are not happy, either...
In short, a good strike is one that disarms the Syrian regime and deter its ability to kill Syrians and destroy their society, and the bad strike is one that saves the status of Western powers but does not impair the regime’s ability to kill and destroy."
