It will be interesting to ask our strategists/policy makers why, if it’s so important to defend the Libyan people against Qadaffi, it isn’t at least equally important to defend the Syrian people against Assad, and of course the Iranian people against Khamenei and Ahmadinejad. At least the Iranians get a forceful speech from the president, and some sanctions. The Syrians barely get a mention in the popular press.
Here’s the latest from the Reform Party of Syria:
