In the Syrian case binaries must be wholly rejected

"In the Syrian case (and probably most cases) binaries must be wholly rejected. One can oppose the regime and oppose disingenuous American plans in Syria at the same time. Both the American military and the Syrian military share one very evident characteristic: they both have the supreme capability to sacrifice innocent civilian lives in order to advance narrowly defined egoistic interests. And in the American case we have seen that in Yemen, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Laos and many other areas around the world." (thanks Omar)
