"one of life's deeper mysteries" to me is how anyone who calls themselves a socialist could "rally around" the CIA-coordinated overthrow of an independent country, socialist or not. And, as the Washington Post and NY Times acknowledge, that ain't no "conspiracy theorist" speaking. And, by the way, MANY of those "80,000 Syrians" (an undocumented and questionable number if there ever was one) who have died have been either armed rebels (many of them foreign) or government troops killed by rebels, not to mention civilians (like 25 killed the other day in a chemical weapons attack and 15 killed at a university) killed by rebels. Your echoing of the corporate media with the implied claim that the "government has slaughtered 80,000 of its people" says a lot about your perspective, or rather, your loss of it.
