Saddam's and Assad's moral human shields
Harold's List
Why they want us to fail: a perspective
by: Oubai Shahbandar
Saddam's moral human shields have yet to forget or forgive the liberation of Iraq. Now, the same moral engine that drove Saddam’s defenders in the American media and academia is springing back to life in the hopes of preventing a similar downfall of the Ba'athist regime in Syria. The self proclaimed liberals have taken a very illiberal stance towards the inviolable right for the people of the middle east to live in liberty. In a similar vain, their yearning for failure in Iraq colors their perspective on what course of action the U.S ought to take in response to Assad II's support for terror-- international and domestic alike.
For instance, the anti-anti Ba’ath team never misses a moment to parrot the same tired line of attack against the Syrian exile opposition that were once used in vain over a span of a decade against the anti-Ba’ath Iraqi Diaspora. Their obsession is evident as they furtively amplify every lukewarm to negative sentiment made by a Syrian national towards the Diaspora opposition.
In a telling revelation of just where their allegiance truly lay, Ba’athist apologists like Joshua Landis and his acolytes have conspicuously made more and more of an effort to attack liberal opposition groups exiled and banned from Syria. It has become a predictable calculus, a persistent inverse relationship between the chances for Ba’ath survival and the willingness of failed academics turned heroic knights of the Great Arab War against Zionist Agression to delve even deeper into the absurd as they scramble to smokescreen Ba’athist atrocities.
The obsession is residual from the great failure of the same class of detractors that sought to block the liberation of Iraq, continue to search for any avenue of attack to discredit the post-liberation Democratic consolidation, and will likely never cease in their disdain for Arab liberty and this U.S administration’s mission to secure humanity from Islamist terror.
Only those consumed with an equitable range of hatred can find it within themselves to so assiduously defend those regimes founded on hatred. However, history moves forward, and the Ba’athist fall in Iraq has yet to see its denouement played out. These persistent whimperings of an evolved strain of haters are indicative of the irrational emotional investment into the success of the worst kind of governance as represented by the Ba’ath at the expense of the best (and albeit most successful) kind as embodied by the United States of America.
