The FR person of the year should be the millions of people who walk by the newsstand and ignore Time magazine.
I’ve got the YouTube on the BluRay, and did a search on “syrian army defector”, put it on continuous play, and it’s still going on while I’m in here. The defectors make videos y’know, showing their faces and their military IDs, stating their names, and denouncing the Assad regime. Unlike Libya, the Syrian people are on their own, with very little of anything coming from outside — certainly nothing from NATO et al.
It’s more clear than ever that that NATO chose Libya first to queer the deal on Syria when the time came. Neither Russia nor China will support anything substantial. It leaves the Arab League, plus freelance work by Turkey. Israel should condemn the Arab League for doing nothing (without threatening to intervene), really humiliate those sorry drag-ass no-account do-nothing effs.
Thanks John W.
A couple years ago, someone, we never found out whom, sent us a subscription of Time. No matter what we did to cancel it, it kept coming and of course no refund. It went straight from the mailbox to the garbage can.
