Distinguishing Friends From Enemies
It’s tough distinguishing friends from enemies, especially when allies don’t agree who the enemies are, and our enemies have the same primary goal as us!
For example, please note Syria Rebels Dismayed by US Air Attacks on Non-Isis Groups.
In the course of Syria’s nearly four-year civil war, Ahmed Hamadi an anti-regime rebel, often hoped western intervention would help his cause. But when it finally came, it killed his neighbours and their children.
“We asked for western strikes to come and support our fight to free Syria, not to kill us,” sighed the Army of Islam fighter. He described by phone how he pulled out the bodies of women and children from the wreckage of a residential building destroyed in the village of Kafr Daryan, about 50km west of Aleppo.
Collateral Damage to Moderates
The problem for Ahmed Hamadi was that no one could possibly tell him and the moderate 3-year old kids from real extremists and their extremist 3-year old kids.
This may be shocking news, but not even John McCain can tell the difference.
Want proof?
Well, who doesn’t these days? So here goes: Oops! Sen. McCain Met Syrian Rebels Accused of Kidnapping.

Solution Offered
Far be it from me to stand back and criticize others without offering solid proposals at least as good as those coming Washington D.C., especially senator McCain, president Obama, and Hillary Clinton….
