Same meme — Berlin Wall fell, USSR fell two years later — as seen earlier in the week; basically, this is a partisan media shill ping, although the ideas are worthwhile on their own. Where have these ideas been since March?
Perhaps a shill. But the critical position of Syria as a link from Iran to the Mediterranean is brain dead obvious. The fall of Syria as an Iranian stooge state will hurt Iran a lot. This is, of course, why Zero and his crew have been so ginger about Syria and so bold about Egypt, Libya et al. It would actually help the US a lot if Assad fell. Not so much the others.
