WHAT IS A
REVOLUTION?
Tariq Ali prefers Assad.
"The notion that the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) is the carrier of a Syrian revolution is as risible as the idea that the Brotherhood was doing the same in Egypt. A brutal civil war with atrocities by both sides is currently being fought. Did the regime use gas or other chemical weapons? We do not know with certainty. The strikes envisaged by the United States are designed to prevent Assad’s military advances from defeating the opposition and re-taking the country. That is what is at stake in Syria."
Liar. Max Blumenthal reports* the universal opinion of the 75,000 refugees from Assad in the largest refugee camp in the world.
"Most Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan are only too well aware that US strikes will not make their country better."
*"Indeed, there was not one person I spoke to in Zaatari who did not demand US military intervention at the earliest possible moment." [http://www.thenation.com/…/we-just-wish-hit-put-end-massacr…#]
