Syria was never a great place. But when the American led coalition really put its attempts at starting a revolution into high gear in 2009, starting training dissidents directly in 2011, then arming them in 2012, it really turned into a hellhole.
Now with 500,000+ dead, millions displaced, why is no one being held accountable? Shouldn't Google face consequences for what had to be an association and coordination with the US coalition?
I mean if this isn't what utter and complete failure looks like, I don't know what is.
[EDIT] Downvotes for this? The only way this could be downvoted is if people think the dates are wrong. Which they might be, and we probably won't know for a long time for sure. But the wikileaks US embassy cable docs sure paint this timeline as correct. And giving money to dissident groups, followed by helping them coordinate, then after hostilities broke out, arming them, hardly takes a stretch of the imagination.
