Far off the mark. The imperialist intervention began in at least 1914. And has never stopped since.
Except that Syria is not Iraq. The "anti-imperialist" left insists on seeing Syria as if Obama were George W. Bush but a better analogy would be with Chechnya, a country that was an experiment for the sort of scorched earth tactics now being employed in Syria against "takfiri". Just do a Google/Image search of "Grozny" followed by one of "Aleppo" and you'll see what I mean.
