Stephen Lendman, April 2, 2012:
"Washington's "strategic interests" entail installing another pro-Western regime, exploiting Syrians, isolating Iran, replacing its government by any means, reigning terror on the entire region, and controlling it unchallenged.That's how imperialism works. Media scoundrels support it in lockstep. Body count totals don't matter, just success by any means, fair or foul.Nearly always the latter way's chosen. Suffering never ends. It increases.Syrians know Assad's their only hope. They won't tolerate becoming another pro-Western vassal state. It's their country, their government, their choice, and their right."
