In These Times
by Stephen R. Weissman

While media attention has turned to fresher news, the conflict in Syria rages on and the West becomes ever more deeply embroiled. The United States is training Syrian insurgents in neighboring Jordan, increasing deliveries of 'non-lethal' military equipment, and helping coordinate the military aid flowing to the Free Syrian Army from Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Meanwhile, the British and French are poised to send in arms. The U.S. appears to be following the same philosophy in Syria that it did in Libya in 2011, one laid bare by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton s comment after receiving the news that Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi had been killed: 'We came, we saw, he died.' In other words, the U.S. believed that the best way of protecting Libyan civilians and promoting a democratic transition was to help armed insurgents overthrow the regime...
