This video really does an excellent job of explaining the situation in its entirety. Assad is not Albert Schweitzer, but he’s an important and necessary bulwark against Sunni fundamentalist insurgents on one hand and Anglo-American-Zionist-Wahhabist axis on the other. Right now the Resistance Block is the best bet […]
This includes an interesting discussion of Angelo Codevilla’s theory of the ruling class.
