Today as in the past couple hours? This is why I hate it when my insomnia leaves me awake after dawn but too sleepy to watch the news.
If we can provide economic, political, OR military support to the pro-self-determination factions in Syria, in any combination, we should - but, as with anywhere else in the long-colonized Middle East, we need to be careful to stop short of promoting our own agenda, and show the people there that we do not mean to continue being an imperial-colonial power in their lives. Because that's the biggest reason they hate colonial/imperial/western powers like us - because we cause so many of their problems. If they could trust us not to interfere with their self-governance like we have so often in their pasts, they wouldn't oppose us so vehemently.
