It has been reported that the day after Trump won, Obama ordered his military to start bombing al-Qaeda. Maybe Obama doesn't want to go down in history as the president who coďdled al-Qaeda?
Most Greeks believe the US had a hand in the 1967 coup in Greece - 4 of the 5 Greek military guys who assumed power were closely connected to the US military and/or CIA. Part of why Greeks are skeptical of Washington and London to this day. Yes, Greece was then a member of NATO.
The Vietnam war could of been avoided if the US had allowed elections to have gone forward in Vietnam as agreed. I wish that the fate of Syria could be decided by the ballot box, but that is not going to happen.
I spent about 6 weeks in Syria a couple of years before the Arab Spring. It was clear to me that Syria was a dictatorship - but that at the same time Assad was quite popular with the Syrian people. Assad has committed many human rights abuses and this election cannot be seen as free and fair. At the same time, if free and fair elections were held I think Assad would win. There simply isn't an opposition except for ISIS and al-Qaeada. Assad doesn't really want democracy - he would rather continue as dictator. The west doesn't really want democracy either - they would like to see Syria ruled by a Sunni dictatorship like the one in Bahrain. Syria is a chessboard and the Syrian people are just pawns.
