Criticize the West too on Syria

The burden of expectation cannot only be on Bashir and his allies. That burden must be placed on the rebels and their allies as well.

Hillary Clinton is right. There should be consequences. But these should be consequences for the rebels and their sponsors. They are the ones primarily responsible for the deteriorating situation in Syria. The people who have financed a second centre of armed coercion are the ones responsible for the instability of Syria. They are the ones bearing more of the responsibility for the suffering of the Syrian people.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying the kleptocratic one family dictatorship in Syria is right. All I am saying is that those arming the rebels are not acting out of sincere concern for ordinary Syrian people. They are acting for their own selfish narrow ends.

The 'solution' for a hungry hyena's problem is not necessarily the same as the 'solution' for a trapped goat's problem, although the hyena might see a positive link in the circumstances.

The solution for Syria's ordinary people, is not sponsoring the rebels until they can defeat Bashar. In fact that is part of the problem.

Criticism should be sincere and honest. If criticism is allowed to become manipulative and scheming, then eventually people will loose faith in the schemers.

The West should stop shedding crocodile tears for Syria's people while conniving with the rebels to make the lives of Syrians hell by fomenting a war in their backyards.
