Another of those dreadful leftist gossip articles so typical of OG. A collage of different and supposed events, even if real, do not make a coherent and credible history or give an explanation of the historical situation.
It is, simply, preposterous and insulting to the peoples of Syria (including those who support the regime) and the world, to suggest that the protests and the uprisings in Syria, and by extension in Libya and other Arab countries, were caused by Western 'intelligence' agencies and their Laurence of Arabia assets. That type of 'thinking' can only be classified as the sorrowful intellectual defecation of ignorant and supremacist minded Anglo-Saxon tourists... TOURISTS.
Assad's regime, like most of the Arab world, has been in turmoil for many decades, as it has been subjected, like the rest of the world (including the West), not only to colonial pressures but, most importantly, to dire, brutal, putrid and corrupt internal situations.
In Syria (like in other Arab countries), the uprisings and coups, normally and necessarily home grown, from one sign or another, have been a regular thing since independence. Indeed, the history of Syria is a succession of rebellions, coups and repressions, even under the apparent stability of a regime that is not clearly as Pan-Arabist as they want to make people believe. For example, the Assad regime is, mostly, an ethnico-religious Alawite/Shia regime, based on certain parts of the population.
In any case, even if the absurd premises of this article are accepted, that is, even if it is accepted that the spies of the West have organized what has all the characteristics of an spontaneous uprising, followed by a brutal repression, then it would be necessary to explain why the happy people of Assad's Syria followed the lead of Western spies and why Iran and Russia had to organize a massive intervention to help a sinking regime.
What is more, it quite evident, except for tourists with cameras or not, that the West did not want a victory of the insurgents, as the victory of a revolutionary regime, even Islamic, would have endangered Israel. That is the real reason for the defeat of an uprising that did not start as an Islamic movement, but degenerated into one, once the repression of the regime forced a guerrilla warfare and a civil war.
People should, at least, stop and think a little more before jumping into a CNN or a BBC fairytale story.
