This article in the Guardian (which I also think has largely 'lost it'; I used to love that paper, was brought up on it) is outrageous. The comments show much more sense.

Cohen just doesn't get it.

My questions, which you seem to think were meant to be unpleasant, were actually based on a genuine interest in your opinions.

Just for clarity - I asked for the post to be deleted. I'd accidentally pressed send when dashing off to answer the phone, so the original post was even more rambling than the final one....

Well, I agree with the post you haven't deleted !

I think the original Nick Cohen article is a bit of a bizarre mishmash of unrelated points.
More and more of The Guardian's articles seem to be like this now.
Just clickbait, to my mind. More trolling goes on ATL than BTL at Guardian Towers.

An excellent post, Iam. It seems the rebels are no better than the government - one report today says they have taken over a Christian village and forced the villagers to adopt Islam. The ordinary civilian populace would be sure to suffer enormously if any other nation sent in troops or used any kind of bombing.
