Seth Frantzman,
Terra IncognitaThe real origin and message of the debate about Syria is that it is not about Syria. Ã Most of those who openly support Assad do not live in Damascus and they don't want to live in Syria under Assad, nor do they want an Assad-like regime to rule over them. Ã They are almost all western, privileged, and often elites, who are critical of their own countries. Ã They are mostly eurocentric or Americanocentric. Ã For them the historic role of the US or UK in the world is the source of most of the world's problems, and whatever the policy of the current administration is, must be opposed.
