They were instantaneous outbursts of their public fury, which caught even the West by surprise. But from this surprise came opportunity. Why couldn't similar revolutions be engineered in non-friendly countries??? <br /><br />As for Assad, he is the worst enemy for Israel. And the real aim of the West is not just regime change, but also to sow the seeds of civil war by providing arms to different factions. This way those countries remain tied up in internal disputes for decades. <br /><br />Take it from me - I have studied the methods of the West for the last 5 years :) They are adept at killing multiple birds with one stone!Pareshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990490653401639607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-22002045376999807722012-02-06T09:02:26.139-08:002012-02-06T09:02:26.139-08:00Dear Paresh,

So to say that the uprisings have been engineered by West would be inappropriate.amitarorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603730198032879490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-57797592728892305712012-02-06T06:42:57.897-08:002012-02-06T06:42:57.897-08:00On the contrary, Israel is quite OK with Assad.

In fact, Israel dreads the uncertainty of a fanatical Sunni Muslim regime which perhaps could now come to power in Syria, if Assad falls. <br />I only wish the West had half the brilliance in thwarting China (especially) that you credit them with. Their stupidity in dealing with both China and Pakistan (the epicentre of terror) is there for all to see.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368516060907909382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-8863882360926452782012-02-06T04:00:54.813-08:002012-02-06T04:00:54.813-08:00Assad was proving a thorn for Israel and an ally o...Assad was proving a thorn for Israel and an ally of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas. That is why he had to go. Also, this way the West is finishing off allies of China and Russia thus isolating them for the final blow.<br /><br />The West has learnt the pitfalls of direct millitary intervention and thus have innovated this concept of popular uprisings. If successful, this same formula will be reused in Iran, China, Russia. <br /><br />I really appreciate the strategic and long term thinking of Westerns strategic planners. Excellent chess moves!!Pareshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990490653401639607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-15953272293713572602012-02-05T04:00:36.196-08:002012-02-05T04:00:36.196-08:00Definately Carlos,

Like Dahrendroff said a mouse even with all luxuries and placed in a golden cage, tries to nibble its way out, something that protests in Bahrain have shown. :)amitarorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603730198032879490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-87134595190415280422012-02-05T02:37:11.985-08:002012-02-05T02:37:11.985-08:00Hi Amit,

I think it is far better to have a reliable dictator (like say the Shah of Iran) than to have a fanatical Islamic ayatollah (like say Khomeini)in power. <br /> Of course, if one could have a moderate democratic regime to replace Assad that would be ideal. Unfortunately, that alternative is not available in Syria today. So knocking out someone who has proven fairly stable over the decades and replacing that person with chaos (like in Egypt)is not really improving the situation for Syria, for its neighbours or for the world in general. <br />In conclusion, Amit, we should thank our lucky stars (figuratively, of course) that we are Indians :-) With all her drawbacks, India is a great deal better.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368516060907909382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-78357105019947987002012-02-04T23:59:48.837-08:002012-02-04T23:59:48.837-08:00Dear Carlos,

But then One wrong does not make another worng correct. The problem is that in Syria the scale of violence has been unprecedented and the issue is under consideration in the UN general assembly, and the resolution by the Arab League (vetoed by Russia and China) was in my opinion on correct lines to ensure a peaceful transition through a national unity government. If such a transition can be assured nothing like it. My concern is that if its not able to, should such violence be tolerated. Is it okay to allow lives to be sacrificed for the fear that "there is a possibility that a fundamentalist regime may follow. I beg to differ that such pessimism should be used as a reason for inaction.amitarorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603730198032879490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-54571153825118433552012-02-04T23:52:13.360-08:002012-02-04T23:52:13.360-08:00To amitarora,

Some Sunni Muslim fanatics ??? Some proxies for Al-Qaeda ??? The Egyptian version of the Muslim Brotherhood ???Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368516060907909382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-50741606366903194292012-02-04T19:34:23.280-08:002012-02-04T19:34:23.280-08:00Dear Sir,

Isnt it a responsibility of the the world and India to support a military action even if required. Ofcourse a well defined UN mandated strictly to the text military action and not like the one that happened in Libya. After all human life shound be valued above everything else, in my opinion, even above the concept of "sovereignty".amitarorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603730198032879490noreply@blogger.com
