While Gilbert Achcar, for instance, is right to note the complexities and ironies of the current alignment of forces in Syria (as he does in this interview: http://www.internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article5386), he shows a total lack of sophistication by then signing on to a statement which calls simply and without qualification for military action, implicitly by the Western powers, as if one could seriously expect this to make things better -- especially after seeing how such actions in the recent past, as in Iraq, are largely responsible for the current bloody mess.
