New from Linux Beach:
Does the "do nothing" Left want Assad to win in Syria?
<http://claysbeach.blogspot.com/2015/09/does-do-nothing-left-want-assad-to-win.html>
> Recently there has been a spat of articles from the "anti-imperialist"
> Left opposing calls to do something about the carnage in Syria and the
> resulting refugee crisis. Specifically, they oppose calls for military
> intervention to create a safe-area or a no-zone inside of Syria that
> Assad wouldn't be allowed to bomb. They think that would be unfair
> because it would only apply to Assad, according to Adam Johnson on the
> FAIR website:
>
> A no-fly zone would only be applied to Assad because anti-Assad
> forces don’t have an air force.
>
> Of course, much of carnage is being created by Assad's air force
> because even though he has lost control of 83% of the country, he can
> still bomb 100% of it. These "anti-imperialists" oppose the various
> suggestions about what to do coming from the Syrians under attack.
> They don't address those directly but treat demands for a no-fly zone
> as having originated in the West as part of a "regime change" plot and
> not from the civilians being bombed. They have no alternative plans to
> stop the daily rain of barrel bombs and the measures they do propose,
> such as a one-sided arms embargo against Assad's opposition, only give
> him more freedom to continue the carnage.
