Free Syria propaganda

Michael Yon passes along this video of dark humor as Syrians hold a civil war while the US, Europe, and Saudi Arabia watch.

This is the modern equivalent of the political cartoon...

Am I a bad person because I laughed out loud at that video, like, all the way through? It's funny. We need dark humor in this crazy wacky mixed-up madcap world.

"Since the Syrian civil war, the town has gained fame for producing satirical videos about the war."

I liked how the chemical weapons were being petted/stroked after being taken from the Syrian gubmint.
