"Plenty" ... compared to Pinochet? Jorge Videla? etc. etc., all massive beneficiaries of US aid and support.
- BeetleB 9y agoI'm having trouble discerning how your comment relates to what I am saying. It doesn't appear to negate any point that I am making.
- 1024core 9y agoMy point is, these other dictators were supported and encouraged by the US. While Assad, just because he's not on "our" side, is villified.
- BeetleB 9y agoI understand, but what does it have to do with my comment? Were you replying to the wrong thread? Person said Syria was "just fine" before recent US involvement. I was pointing out how it was far from just fine. Whatever the US did elsewhere in the world is irrelevant to this subthread.
