Perhaps you should read what Churchill thought ought to be done with the people of the ME and maybe study how that THAT empire, now our ally in all this, destroyed as much of that culture as they could. And yes, Westernizing these 'camel jockeys' , remember that among all the other epithets, not just from Fox viewers and propagandists, but from some of our GENERALS. Gen. Miller: Treat the Iraqis like DOGS', And of course, we did.
We always find a few willing to join the invaders, the Brits were great at this, have some show 'elections' where a westernized puppet is installed, see Maliki and before him, Saddam, and on and on, because for some reason it is still important to pretend that any of our brutal invasions of these countries is somehow 'civilized'.
I have selected HISTORY, very recent HISTORY tp form my opinion. Droning and bombing and finding new, much more DANGEROUS excuses to do even more BOMBING, is what I see, and support for DICTATORS rather than the many democratic factions that actually DO exist in many of these counntries, SEE AFGHANISTAN. We are not interested in those who want peace.
As for Assad, politicians come and go YES. But when outside brutal terrorists are sent in to create Regime Change, when WE without acknowledging the legitimate government of any of these nations, just go in and start bombing, using one excuse or another, that is called REGIME CHANGE, which means without any input from the people.
Assad was reelected by a majority of Syrians, that might not have happened four years ago when many Syrians wanted someone new. But AFTER the invasion of their country by brutal outside extremist groups armed and funded by OUTSIDERS, many Syrians when interviewed, stated that they were far more afraid of these invaders than they ever were of Assad.
So we'll see if we consult the Syrian people, or just find a few of the usual suspects, see Iraq, to speak for them, when we get behind the next Regime Change.
Get back to me if I am proven wrong, I really, really hope so because those people do not need to become another Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan where I assume you think regime change was done just be the people without any interference from us.
