Syrian rebels unify, create new 30-member council

5. It is not a grass roots uprising.

Neither was Libya. Both had outsiders arming and supporting the 'rebels' from the start.

Egypt and Tunisia otoh, were grassroots revolutions. The protesters were never armed nor did they have these 'councils' legitimized by outsiders. Nor did they rush to set up banks when they succeeded to peacefully topple their dictators.

When the first act of a so-called grass roots revolution is to go for the money, and/or the oil, before the battle is even won, we know that this is not what it seems. They did ride on the wave of real revolution and for a while some of us were fooled, but early on, in Libya eg, it was impossible to continue to view that as a grassroots revolution.

Hillary Clinton actually told us 'how we now fight wars' after Libya. Western interests use proxy armies to avoid the antagonism towards NATO invading any more ME or African nations.

I am sure the facts will be revealed over time. I just am not buying the 'grassroots' story, not by a long shot.
