John Eichman After researching the conflict in Syria via numerous independent sources and mainstream media it is clear that Syria is the latest victim/target in western imperialism and as such deserves my support.

Dmitry Drozdov Because they're being bullied

Nigel Hanrahan 1. The whole structure of international relations, even with the presence of the US Empire, rests upon the sovereignty of states, etc.. If one state can be attacked, then any state can be attacked. This isn't even particularly radical. It's simply advocacy for law-governed international relations instead of the current fake law-governed international relations.

2. anti-imperialist solidarity, natch. And if you don't know what imperialism is, or don't think it's a problem, then you are part of the problem.

3. Because Syria has a great an ancient culture that I don't want to see harmed. "In their rich variety and diversity, and in the reciprocal influences they exert on one another, all cultures form part of the common heritage of humanity". [UNESCO]
