It is hilarious: that gathering of "friends of Syria". Russian commentators are right: it is friends of the US conference. Israel is a present at the conference: represented by US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. It apologized for not being there. So the US, France, and UK are now friends of the Syrian people? This is like holding a conference in Tehran and billing it as "Friends of the Jewish people conference" and hosted by Ahmadinajad.
