Syria: John Kerry Gives Something Better Than Nothing at Robert Pogson

“The Syrian rebels say weapons and ammunition are what they need most”see BBC News – Syria conflict: John Kerry extends US aid to rebels.

Come on Kerry! The time for sending food and medicing was two years ago when Assad began to slaughter civilians wholesale. That was the time to send small arms, ammunition and light artillery, too. The war might be over by now if the USA had done that. Instead, the USA wrung its hands worrying about who was fighting Assad as if some fighters for liberty are OK and others are not.

Clear the sky of Assad’s planes.
Supply the refugee camps with food, shelter, clothing and medical assistance.
Air-drop all the radios, rifles, ammunition and light artillery the rebels can manage.
Supply all kinds of weapons, not just assault weapons. They need snipers’ rifles, laser designators for air-support, laser rangefinders and night-vision.
Open up a seaport for the rebels.

The sooner the rebels are properly equipped and trained the more lives will be saved. As long as Assad and his partners think Assad can hang on they will keep fighting and killing. Eliminate the doubt.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.

I think it is impossible to tell remotely what is actually happening in Syria. The “news” reports from North America, Russia, China, India, and Eastern Europe all diverge markedly.

Two things one can infer from these reports:

(1) There is an armed conflict in Syria. (Who is a “terrorist” and who is a “commando” is subject to opinion.)

(2) It risks expanding into a full out WWIII with every major power having forces and troops in the area.

Don’t be to keen on that war being further fueled from the outside.
