damian kilbane I've just told you that the west have been targeting ISIS in Syria for years. In fact, it was the anti-Assad forces that did most of the fighting against ISIS for much of the time. While Assad concentrated on anti-Assad forces. The idea was to knock them out of the war, then claim to be the only ones fighting ISIS.
The whole war could have been avoided had Russia not supported its puppet, Assad. As he would have had to have stepped down. Instead, while the west takes out dictators like Saddam, Gaddafi, and the Taliban, Russia, as usual, supports the dictators. Don't forget, Russia did the same with Nazi Germany. Allying with Hitler. Now its bogged down in Syria while its pensioners go hungry.

English Heart If you want to blame anyone for the state of Libya today, blame Gaddafi. After 40 years Libyans finally got off their knees and kicked him out. He had a choice then, either to go and save Libya, or stay and fight his own people. He chose to go to war. Western intervention shortened that war. Unless you care to make the claim that the conflict would have ended on the exact day it did, without western intervention?
So compare Libya to Syria. The war is still going on in Syria. Casualties are anything from half a million to over a million. Millions more have fled the country. Six years after it began, its still going on. And at the end of it, its very likely the cause of the war, Assad, will remain in control of what's left of the country. Wouldn't it have been better if he had just gone?
Sure, I guess you could blame the Libyan people and the Syrian people for fighting to defend themselves against the dictators that rule over them. But then you'd be an idiot. Especially if, at the same time, you bitch and whine about how terrible life is in the UK, where you have all the rights, privileges, and freedoms that you do.
If you were Libyan, and you had posted '...Until we boot these lunatics out of power' as you did above, about the Gaddafi regime, you wouldn't just be another whiny first worlder desperate to play at being the victim. You would be taking your life in your hands, and putting your family and friends in danger. Especially if you lived in Benghazi. The same applies if you had been Syrian. Your posts would be monitored, not by an imaginary deep state, but by the security forces of an all too real regime that had kept itself in power for over 40 years, and is quite prepared to see the country burn to keep itself in power for another 40 years more.
In other words, if you can't see the reasons why Libyans and Syrians would rise up against the brutal dictatorships that rule over them, then shut the fk up about how terrible your sad little life is under the present UK government.
