What exactly was Assad doing that made us want to supply terrorists to overthrow his government?

He was blocking the gas pipeline from the Gulf States into southern Europe. That made him an international terrorist and a brutal dictator and a murderer of his innocent population.

The fact that he won the last free, internationally monitored election Syria was able to hold in 2007 and the fact that he did a good job of keeping the peace in his country while protecting the non-muslim communities must be ignored. Money, money, money. Always follow the money.

Peter Hitchens blog contains his recent Sunday columns and in one of them from Sunday December 11th he noted that the Saudis have two things the British need, oil for sure but even more desperately, money.

The same goes for the USA as well.....

So we end up being in bed with the Saudis and their jihadis trying to overthrow Assad in Syria.
