As a former Assad apologist ,I think I can explain where this lack of opposition to Syria comes from.
First, a sort of "knee jerk anti imperialism" ,a belief that any enemy of the US state, who professes a belief in anti imperialism, can't be all bad. Second, a complete ignorance of the modern history of Syria, especially since the 1970s. Something the link you recently posted, Loius, cleared up for me. This is a history rarely discussed in leftist circles. This article doesn't nearly cover all the details, though. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
