Flash: Abu George supports sanctions against the Syrian people

This is rather explosive.  Abu George was not expected to make this point:  "The only development that would bring Syria's Alawite and Christian minorities into the rebellion "is if they felt like their personal interests and businesses were harmed," said a resident of the hard-hit port city of Latakia who gave his name only as Abu George. "That is why I believe that to succeed, the Syrian economy needs to be targeted."  Notice that the article also cited Cicero from Turkey and an "expert" from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy which speaks on behalf of the Syrian people.  What a lousy article in the LA Times.
