I don't know much ...Thanks for your comments. <br /><br />I don't know much about the Syrian rebels' ideology. But I'm sure that there are plenty of good reasons to rebel against that nation's regime. <br /><br />And, whatever the rebels' ideas, there's no justification for massacring civilians. <br /><br />Best, MikeMiguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388030533444193686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655683135628692725.post-85582349764146177532012-09-21T02:19:34.936-07:002012-09-21T02:19:34.936-07:00I think that the Russians are some how very indiff...I think that the Russians are some how very indifferent to the Syrian conflict, but it would not surprised me if Chavez or the Iranians are behind this featherbrained propaganda, in particular Iran and its long twisted tentacles.

From what I've seen it seems like a large proportion are very wary of the 'rebels', who are very clearly of the extremist muslim bent and include a large number of foreign 'jihadis' who don't like that Syria is a secular state. <br /><br />It is very interesting (and worrying) that certain US politicians are so eager to play the old enemy of my enemy is my friend card and arm the extremists. We've seen enough times how that comes back to bite us.<br /><br />If you're interested, the best coverage I've found is from Robert Fisk at the Independent.rastahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774503432363778419noreply@blogger.com
