The right wing propaganda for a more vigorous imperialist aggression to put a
subservient regime in place in Damascus does of course lie about the so called
"no fly zone".
No, a "no fly zone" does not really involve "targetting warplances in the sky",
but heavy bombing of the ground.
It means not only destroying airports, but first and foremost destroying all
air defenses of the country of which the imperialist aggressor wants to take
control of, and this needs massive bombing.

One of your leaders, Ms. Hillary Clinton, had made clear when she was the US
foreign minister, that bombing Syria is a not so easy as assinating some people
in Asia or Africa by teleguided killing machines -- among several reasons --
the Syrian government has an effective air defense. While the Ghaddafi regime
of Libya had given up their air defense on demand of the imperialist powers for
being accepted as a good friend of imperialism. Libya has suffered
corresondingly. Syria on the other hand could at least avoid such terror
bombing as Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya suffered. And Vietnam, and Laos, and
Korea, and and and

The 10 year "no fly zone" war with "sanctions" against Iraq has killed 500'000
Iraqi children. Another of your leaders, Ms. Madeleine Albright, who was US
foreign minister back than, thought that this was worth it.
No, imposing this so sweet sounding "no fly zone" is as murderous as any other
imperialist aggression. It just saves some lives of the aggressor's canon
fudder, who kill in Asia and return daily home from "work" to their family home
in, say, Kansas.
As a side note, there is another big error in the post by Mr. Karadjis:

Far off the mark. The imperialist intervention began in at least 1914.
And has never stopped since.
