But the US doesn't care, that's never been the case the US has any actual care for the people of Syria, I mean did they ask the citizens whether they wanted to overrun by a bunch of Moslem extremist psychopaths? All these regime change operations come with the idea not to make things better, but to bring down any powerful opposition to their own hegemony (and in the Middle East, Israel') and the more chaos the better, the less any such afflicted nation can mount any effective opposition. And if a few hundred thousand or million dead eventuate, well, that's less people who might become violent and if a few million refugees wash up on the shores of Europe, that's not the US's problem, indeed it helps sow chaos in Europe and make it more likely that the Europeans will elect more reactive, right wing governments, like the US's own. And if Europe's industry suffers, less competition for theirs. I mean, these neocons are not actually as stupid as we sometimes think, they're just much more evil than we can ever imagine a human can be, so we're unprepared for the fact that they're winning, that every disaster is actually a victory.

And any country's special relationship with the US is just the relationship of a poodle to an abusive master or hoodlum to his godfather - and what happens to hoodlums that don't do as the godfather tells them, you're eliminated.

So here's Ben Wallace, Sir Richard Sheriff, Sir Tony Radakin, but particularly Sherriff in gung-ho militarism - read and despair.

They are literally insane, and all we can do is write worthless homilies to other impotent members of society while we listen to the early rumbles of war come marching through time to our own.
