Why is the "West" always the guilty party?

A quarter million dead American citizens?  No f**king way would such be 
tolorated.  Nor do I think that any US leader would have ever allowed it to come 
to such.  Not even Nixon and such.

And there have been other countries with popular uprisings, and the government 
didn't resort to a brutal blood bath.  With some exceptions, such as China, and 
Syria.

Here we go again.  Revisionist history.  Nice try.

The problem in Syria began when Assad brutally suppressed some public 
demonstrations.  Go back and read old news, you'll see the truth of this.  After 
which a large part of the population decided that Assad must go.

I see.  Perhaps you're part of the china's communist party?

I do not totally disagree with you.  But, raise your head, and lose it?  That's 
not so enlightened.

IS happened because of the breakdown in civil order.  If there had been no need 
for a protracted revolution, IS could not have happened.  Get rid of Assad, and 
watch how fast IS disappears.

Oh, real good, now it's Israel's fault.  I can see where this is coming from ...
