I'm PROUD to have an "obsession" with the miserable failure of that part of the Left that assigns responsibility for the mass murder in Syria to outside plots and "destabilizers" while denying the legitimacy of the revolutionary attempt of the Syrian people to rid themselves of the monstrous Assad regime! I am indeed "obsessed" with the crimes of today's Left in that regard which I place alongside the defense of Stalinism's crimes of the 1930s as an obscene betrayal of what we are supposed to stand for and fearful of the price we'll have to pay in the eyes of radicalizing young people throughout the Arab world!
