(62,536 posts)I'm wondering about your timing here, since these articles are woefully out of date, and none of them acknowledge the killings by the Assad regime in the past day. It's actually quite telling, if you ask me. I encountered this same sort of propaganda during the Libya crisis, where people would post highly out of date, highly focused "criticism" that could apply to any revolutionary group. Indeed, here you generalize about two individuals who don't represent the Syrian protesters to any degree, as if they have any relevance to the people on the ground wishing for self-determination in the face of Russian provided arms.
You're talking about articles nearly a year old here in some cases, none of which acknowledge the tyranny that the Syrian people are facing. I am utterly perplexed what the relevance of these outdated, jingoist articles actually mean.
