I can't say I agree with Luko, but I don't agree with Michael either. Do you guys really think that this kind of intervention is any sort of guarantee against the bloodshed in Syria? US troops on the ground in Iraq oversaw and participated in endless and ongoing bloodshed in Iraq. Likewise, US-backed regime changes throughout the world have never been successful, stable, etc. What makes you think that limited intervention along the lines of no-fly zones would create some sort of fundamentally different reality on the ground? Is there precedent for that working elsewhere? The issue of the boy drowning is quite obvious: Europe's failure to care for those who die as a result of wars and regime operations that it has variably backed, attempted to overthrow, etc. I do not see how his death tells us what is to be done about Syria. In fact, I remember asking many times both on this list and elsewhere what needs to be done. Short of flag-waving and solidarity actions with anti-regime flags it seems like nothing. - Amith On Fri, Sep 4, 2015 at 2:25 AM, Lüko Willms <[email protected]> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > on Donnerstag, 3.
