I believe that Patrick Cockburn is too one sided in his
reporting on the Syrian Civil War. He
seems to go out of his way to minimise the Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's
responsibility for the current state of affairs while putting the majority of
the blame on the West. He barely
mentions Al-Assad's quickly resorting to violence against legitimate and
peaceful protests. He also neglects to
mention the legitimate causes that groups like the Syrian Democratic Front and
the Free Syrian Army fight for. More
widely he does not seem bothered by the prospect that the widespread hatred of
Al-Assad in Syria may not be conducive to a long term and sustainable peace.
