Suicide bombers in Syria?!!! Are you fcking kidding me?!!

To Westerners this might seem ‘normal’ for Arabs/Muslims. But it is about as normal as Shia-Sunni internecine slaughter was in Iraq! Iraq is a tribal society, with one’s clan being far more important. AFAIK, intermarriage was widespread across the various sects and religions. (Let’s not forget all the permutations that the gross division of Sunni and Shia misses within each.)

And now we have the same thing started in Syria, with its complex ethnic and religious tableau. If I had any doubts about the Syrian government’s claims of foreign instigation, they can now be put to rest. This is foreign.

If, as American realpolitikers and Israeli Likudniks wish, Iran gets invaded, too, then we will surely see the same madness–in a nation to whom the notion is, currently, wholly, inconceivable!
