As the U.S. considers a response to what it calls a chemical weapon attack by Syria’s Bashar al-Assad regime that killed hundreds of civilians, reliable Middle Eastern sources say they have evidence the culprits actually were the rebel forces trying to take over the government.

Donald Hank comments:
ReplyDeleteLet me make this as plain as possible.
The Western 'leadership' (with the possible exception of Chancellor Angela Merkel in Germany) wants to take down the Christian-friendly Assad regime.
Russian President Putin wants the West to stay out of the conflict and supports Assad, opposing the killing of Christians and other minorities by the Al Qaeda linked 'rebels' the West supports.
Now I have some friends who say I am being duped into joining the 'wrong side' because I refuse to go along with the West in their pogrom against Christianity and tend to lean toward Putin's viewpoint.
Their reason?
Putin is supposedly still a communist and his motives are not pure. Some have even told me Putin secretly supports homosexuality in his heart of hearts even while banning gay activism. Sound plausible? Well, their reasoning is that communism is pro-homosexual, invariably so. There is no spectrum of variants in their ideology. They are all monolithic and all think exactly alike. And of course, Putin is still communist. He must be. No politician ever changes his mind to accommodate new facts and new conditions, right? (When I was in Russia I found the Soviets to be incredibly puritanical and the men were quite machista in their behavior. Naturally, the regime opposed homosexuality. That is culture, my friends, and has nothing to do with communist ideology. Putin is a Russian first and foremost. That is his culture).
But beyond that, let's see:(continued)
Donald Hank comment pt2: If my daughter is shouting help out beyond the breakers and someone jumps in to save her, I need to interrogate that would be rescuer first to make sure his motives are pure and that he does not have communist sympathies.
ReplyDeleteRight?
But no story is ever told because stories don't end. There's more to this one too. In the case of Israel, it is true that Assad has been anti-Israel and if I were an Israeli, I would be concerned. The problem is, all sides must be taken into account and we are only considering one side. Putin, though taking a pro-Christian stance, is not openly anti-Israel and has made a trip to that country a while back to talk things over--something an anti-Semite probably wouldn't do.
Considering all sides is more complicated, but taking sides and attacking Syria will certainly be even more complicated in the long run. It could cost us what is left of our prestige.
