An emoprog just buried the needle on my BS-o-meter. He declared that the US is responsible for everybody that Assad has killed. Why? Because we’re supporting the rebels with money, resources, and training when a home-grown rebellion would have already been quelled right now.

It’s what amuses me in a dark way about all this, that the situation in Syria is such that the only option if you believe that supporting the rebels is wrong is to take the side of a murderous dictator. Oh hell, what am I saying, many of these folks are the same nuts who thought Saddam was a great guy and wear Che t-shirts without the least bit of irony.
