Western involvement in the middle east is an imperialist, colonialist action, at the behest of oil companies, military contractors and Zionists.  The French have been bombing the Syrians for over a month - where were the mawkish &quot;We are all Syrians&quot; corporate media campaigns at that time?  The French bombed the Syrians, so now the Syrians have bombed the French, the French got what was coming to them.<p>When France was trying to reimpose colonialism on Syria in 1945, Syrians marched through the streets for independence.  The French army shot the marchers down in the street.  For the past month, French bombs have been attacking Syria and the French attitude toward the Syrians haven&#x27;t changed a whit.<p>The corporate news was telling me the secular Assad was a monster who gassed his own people in the past years, and the US began arming opposition groups, <i>including Islamic fundamentalists</i>.  Now I&#x27;m being told ISIS are monsters and such.  And at the same time I&#x27;m being told that the Russians are bad because they are helping Assad fight ISIS.  It&#x27;s risible.<p>Fox News says the same thing about blacks in the US.  Like Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown.  That they&#x27;re animals and savages that have to be put down by police.  It looks like all the same thing to me.
