Before They Ask

No doubt the message boards in forums all across the 'West' and the 'Arab world', will be full of comments suggesting that the West should now tackle the violence in Syria, like they have done in Libya ..... they will no doubt point out that Libya (like Iraq) has oil, while Syria doesn't.

I will simply point out that once again that Russia and China have so far opposed a draft resolution condemning Damascus .... and that once again the Arab League has fallen silent while the tanks move in to cities across Syria.  We have a saying that "God helps those who help themselves"


Tanks in the streets

While the arabs and their regimes remain silent, and their 'friends' in Russia and China oppose any efforts to stop the violence of the regime crackdown, then it ill behoves those commentators who want the West to sort out the worlds bad regimes via force of arms, to say one word against us. Remember one persons support of liberation revolts, is another viewers 'Western Imperialism'  ....
  

Shell Smoke over Hama

We can't do right for doing wrong in these matters .... 'imperialism and interference' when we do something, but 'inaction and double standards' when we don't do something they want.  

Update:

Its now February 2012, and the 'one party' Chinese and 'one president' Russians are still blocking any 'interference' by the West. Laughably, the arabs are still moaning that its the West that are keeping Assad in power. Russia and China have blood on their hands but then thats nothing new is it?
