All right, comrades and friends. Now explain something to me: I have been very confused about the Syria business. The one thing that makes me worried about the Syrian rebels is how much it looks like the press in the West is supporting them. Any time the corporate owned media bashes someone I have to wonder, in this case, the corporate owned media spent years bashing Qaddhafi (spelling) of Libya and now Bashar Al Assad. Of course, it could be a case of the same situation as Saddam Hussein, where he was a bit of a cut throat but still his despotism wasn't an excuse for the U.S. and it's Allies conducting a horrible war there. I am willing to listen to both sides, direct me to some good sources, please. As a proviso, please don't' accuse me of being an Assad supporter, I am neither pro-Assad nor anti-Assad, I am, however, anti-imperialist. I apologize for spelling, I'm in a rush and my computer is playing with me, so please be gentle with me as I have nothing against any of you, list friends. All the best, Fraternally, Dan W. -----Original Message----- From: marxism-bounces+dcwein=dcwein.cnc....@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu [mailto:marxism-bounces+dcwein=dcwein.cnc....@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu] On Behalf Of Louis Proyect Sent: Monday, May 06, 2013 9:01 AM To: Dan Weiner Subject: Re: [Marxism] Evidence "rebels" used arin ====================================================================== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. ====================================================================== On 5/6/13 8:20 AM, Ron Jacobs wrote: > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22424188 I find it so amusing how apologists for Bashar al-Assad like Ron quote exactly the same sources to indict the Syrian rebels that they attacked in the past when they were slandering Milosevic. The article above relies totally on the judgment of Carla Del Ponte, a top prosecutor in the International Criminal Tribunal on Former Yugoslavia who alleged that Milosevic did not die of a heart attack because of a lack of adequate medical care but because of suicide in order to "evade justice". ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/dcwein%40dcwein .cnc.net ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
