Syria -The Arab Nightmare

There are now estimated to be around a million refugees from the war in Syria. The country is being destroyed and with it the lives of millions of people.
Whatever the faults of the Ba'ath regime in Syria, ordinary Syrians do not deserve to be destroyed.
Members of NATO and their allies, the dictators of Arabia, have been arming terrorists for two years now. Right from the beginning ordinary Syrians knew that many of these ‘revolutionaries’ were foreigners, mercenaries and fanatics financed by the Gulf dictatorships.
There is a lot of guff talked by politicians about not arming the terrorists, but they are doing that right now. The latest weapons corridor appears to be from Croatia, via Jordan.
How do the ‘rebels’ pay for all these weapons?  
They must have some generous foreign backers.
It is hard to call these killers anything but terrorists because that is what they are.
The people using violence to overthrow the Syrian government kill people on account of their religion and ethnicity in order to encourage potential supporters of the government to leave their homes and go into exile.
Apart from Lebanon and Israel, Syria was the last remaining pluralist society between Europe and India. Now it is being annihilated.
The Syrian government is without doubt harsh and repressive. The secret police is universally feared.
However, it does not interfere in people’s religious beliefs, it does not drug up hundreds of thousands of working class schoolboys, it does not imprison its minority populations en masse, and it does not interfere in the minutiae of everyday life. It is an old fashioned modernizing dictatorship whose main aim was to feed, educate and provide medicine for its people, and in the process siphon off a few quid for its elite.
No doubt it has had its day, and it has failed to adapt to survive. The younger Assad was not feared as much as his father, yet did not move towards democracy.
It has proved to be a fatal combination.
Though some of the opposition are from Syria itself, from the beginning there have been many foreign fighters, Sunni Islamic Fascists and mercenaries paid  by the Gulf states, dictatorships themselves, nastier and more racist and more sexist than Syria.
Yet the corrupt West and the tyrannical oil states demonize the Syrian government and support these gangs who are unleashing the Arab Nightmare on the people of Syria.
They are unleashing a genocidal fury on Christians and Alawites, murdering any who oppose them.
