While I have respect for the work Patrick Cockburn puts into
his journalism, although I tend to find his conclusions and analysis
frustrating. In the 10th April issue he alleged that relieving President Assad from power in
Syria would not end the fighting and is not possible logistically. Yet he neglected to point out that 6 years of
him being at the helm during wartime have seen an intensification of the war,
showing that his peacemaking skills are somewhat lacking.
Patrick Cockburn
in his series of articles about liberated Mosul again seems to go to unusual
lengths to talk about how the Islamic State brought a certain order to people's
lives. But mentions less than most
journalists about the grim price of that order.
I would like to hear more solutions from him than devil's advocate
positioning.
