Al-Zawahiri, chief of al-Qaeda, has pledged his terrorist organisation’s support for the rebels in Syria. How reassuring to see therefore, that our very own Foreign Secretary, William Hague, and al-Qaeda are on the same side. Quite a triumph for foreign policy that: discovering that we share one of the main aims of the international jihadist gang we have been trying to exterminate for the last decade.

Naturally, the bien pensants, the neocons and the obsessive democrats in the West – notably in the BBC and whole sections of the press – are all on the side of the Syrian rebels. They always salivate juicily at the prospect of a dictator being brought down. It’s a pity that these wishful thinkers don’t have a little more foresight – or even better memories.

For they imagined the downfall of Saddam would restore the fertile crescent to conditions resembling the prelapsarian Garden of Eden. But after nine years in which hundreds of thousands have been killed, Iraq is a worse hell hole than it was when Saddam was running the show. The West’s no fly zone, designed to help the Libyan revolution, was a military success. The only trouble is that the triumphant revolutionaries have turned out not to be tweeting democrats, arranging utopia on their mobile phones, but quite as savage as the regime which they displaced.

The protesters are back in Egypt’s Tahrir Square a year after the uprising that was supposed to have got rid of the tyrant Mubarak has managed to leave the corrupt generals still firmly in charge. Unrest continues – largely unreported – in Bahrain and Yemen.

Hell, we armed our future enemies in the region, why not current?

0sama 0bama is working as hard as HE know how to work to achieve the goal - delivering Syria from one enemy to an even more dangerous one.

Sounds like the Balkans all over again. Notice once again how the U.S. manages to end up on the same side as Al Qaeda when there are Orthodox Christians in the way.

Half of neoconservatives are rabid lunatics unwilling to look at Islam. They want revolution and pay no attention ot results. When we said taht democracy would empower Islamists, they called us racists. When the Muslim Brotherhood took over, they say nothing.
And I don't just mean the twits at AEI and FDD. There are a lot of Freepers who just can't imagine any outcome other than a Velvet revolution.
