They act against the interests of the Arab and other oppressed nations, which is to unite against US imperialism, the "enemigo de la humanidad", the "enemy of hunankind" as the Sandinista hymn so aptly called it.
But the USA is already bombing the rebels rather than providing them a no-fly zone, not surprising given its implicit understanding that al-Assad is a lesser evil to "al-Qaeda" in Syria--the al-Nusra front. In fact the "anti-imperialist" left is quite happy when the USA bombed ISIS to help the Kurds as Patrick Cockburn indicated. It is so ironic that the 2003 antiwar crowd is now adopting the same posture with respect to Syria that Christopher Hitchens had for Iraq.
