Is Syria Nato's Next?

NATO, Syria, Arab Spring, Libya, Egypt, Riots, No Fly Zone, Disasters,  : Dry Bones cartoon.
Is NATO going to do it again? Is Syria NATO's next target?

Here's the view from Iran.
According to the Tehran Times:

"Russia is sending its warships to Syrian waters in a move aimed at preventing any foreign attacks against Syrian territories.

According to Russian sources, the recent move conveys the message that Moscow will block any NATO-led attack under the guise of “humanitarian intervention,” The Nation reported.

Russia has been voicing support for Syria, which it says is currently going through a civil war.

The Western military alliance, NATO, has been making efforts to demonize the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his forces, while downplaying attacks by opposition forces.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has also recently warned the West against any 'Libya-style' military intervention in Syria." -more

No Fly Zone

America, NATO, middle east policy, No Fly Zone, Iran, Libya, Gaddafi, regime change, Shuldig, : Dry Bones cartoon.
Mr. Shuldig is my cartoon alter ego, and he (like me) is watching the news and trying to figure out how American and NATO Mid East policy could be going so horrifyingly wrong.

Bombing Libya

No Fly Zone NATO bombing of Libya : Dry Bones cartoon.
After the West shamefully ignored the brutal crushing of the democracy uprisings in Iran we now have the bizarre NATO bombing of Libya.

It feels like somebody pushed the panic button and the region is being plunged deeper and deeper into chaos. Yikes!!

Scary Movie

Libya, No Fly Zone, Gaddafi, NATO, bombing, Obama : Dry Bones cartoon.
You almost always know something about a movie before you see it. Is it a comedy, an adventure, a psychological thriller, science fiction, etc.

Many years ago I was in Tel Aviv for the day (I was living in Jerusalem at the time). I had been under a lot of pressure and was feeling the stress. I passed a little cinema house. I looked at the photos on display. The movie was called "All That Jazz". "Hmmmm" thought I "A light-hearted musical, all singing and dancing. Just what I need to lift my spirits"

The film was the story of someone who was as exhausted as I was and as driven as I was. And he has a heart attack and dies.

So like everyone else, I'm watching the bombing of Libya and like everyone else I don't know how this drama is going to end. But my gut feeling is that it wont end well. And we can't change the channel or walk out of the movie house.

And I really hope I'm wrong!
