If democracy is their objective it has been a long time coming. The old time communist regimes had a language they used to their people and "democracy and human rights" is part of the language used by our leaders. When seen in the context of history they have often been doing other things with their unseen feet under the water. I am not sure that you can assign the laudable motives you do to the UK and others.

I don't think so. Ask the Boys from Langley and The Friends from Vauxhall Cross. They'll be willing to tell you the truth. Or something. :-) Funny (as in "peculiar") how Western media STILL don't show in any length or depth who the "rebels" are, who funds them, where their weapons come from, and who trains their military. Odd, that, don't you think? Please stay safe. Often the closing days are the most dangerous. Alex,
