Given the appalling violence going on in Syria, I hope we can do some threads on the “big board” on the topic. The world should be given as much info as possible, given the information crackdown that has accompanied the general crackdown in Syria. The more we learn about this, the more the bad actors like Iran, hezbollah, and the usual array of anti Israel “resistance” groups will be exposed for what they really are. Namely, the thugs who keep repressive regimes in power to oppress their people. And the lack of coverage of this angle is a disservice to those who seek the truth about Mideast geopolitics.

Today is a cynical day for me.

I’m sitting here thinking of the sheer number of Americans who are either unaware there is a country called Syria, or are aware that there is a Syria, but aren’t quite sure what or where it is.
