The author provides the most astute analysis of the current Syrian conflict and the subject of revolution in general that I have read for some time.
He then takes issue with some leftists who are supportive of the anti-Syrian forces because of a simplistic view that they all represent a more democratic alternative to the Assad regime. Rees clearly sees that Western agents are attempting to use some of the anti-Assad forces in Syria to engineer another Libyan-type regime change. Thus, our correct political position must be to oppose this.
