In fairness to Assad, everyone uses jihadists these days...

Everyone? In all my readings they are from a particular SArabian inspired sect, with extensive training centres hidden from view. Those implicated: Pakistan, SArabia, Qatar-- coincidently or not allies of the US. You must cite this acquired knowledge of their use by "everyone" as mercenaries, no matter the cause.

You are aware that Iran uses its own brand of jihadists in Pakistan and Iraq (in its squabbles for territory/influence in other words). Muqtada al Sadr (Iran) ring a bell?

Irrespective of the sects involved, the common thread is a fundamentalism that is extreme to the degree that all intelligent thought is effectively blocked. And what do we have?

Rent a stupid!!

There is no common thread between Iraqi Shia anti Saddam politics and SArabia funded Wahhabi ambitions. Muqtada was a patriot, not a terrorist. That Iran shielded him and latter supported him has a long history to events connected inside Iraq. What you are failing to do is separate legitimate indigenous struggle from outside interference and manipulation.

Bullshit. One would have thought there is no real nationalism in the Arab Empire when it comes to fighting external forces from the infidel world. After all it was infidels who dethroned Saddam, reason enough I wulda thunk to sink your differences and defend the Caliphate.

These arseholes are squabbling amongst themselves and selling themselves out to the highest bidder. If that isn't rent a stupid, I have no idea what is.

Who are you to say it is "reason enough" to discard the anti Saddam struggle because infidels dethroned Saddam? Worse!, who the FUCK are you to associate them with foreign funded fanatical terrorists whose sole purpose was to weaken both Sunni and Shia resistance against the US led illegal invasion? That's [i]really [/i]sloppy analysis!!! Even Baaths were patriots as much as Muqtada. Without the "infidels",, as you call them, and other foreign infiltrators (SArabia) a secular Baathist multiethnic and locally grown option was always a possibility.

Marxist, you have lost your patience for nationalist struggle as the vehicle for self determination. Time to change your moniker and become a Clinton supporter..

Where is the local self determination whilst the region pivots around an imperial theocracy based in Saudi Arabia. A theocracy which all the so-called secular forces in the region pay lip service to as the region continues to set itself apart from the mass of the working class movement worldwide. Islamic socialism (Baathist or Libyan) is a joke. It is as much a joke as is the bogus socialism of Tony Blair or the Chinese. However, give those hegemons their due. They act in concert when confronted by threats to their regional interest. I fall about the place laughing at being told that China has the back of the Arab Empire. China has only one back...and that is China.

The constituent elements of the Arab Empire are a joke and have let down the muslim working class absolutely. They afford no protection to the working class whilst being preyed upon by external forces. In fact local predation surpasses that of the outsider. In contrast, little Israel does a salutory job in securing its own interests.

The best you can do is breakup this joke of a cultural region and start from scratch. You have yet to embark on the modernity of capital (yes, Marx did construe the meritocracy of capitalism an improvement on the arbitrary structures one finds in these outdated feudalisms) let alone address the core inequities.

In other words, you have yet to pass base in your long climb to equity. You are not going to get it by running around the place like a headless chicken playing the victim. You can only do so through solidarity and that comes from a solid understanding of the issues at stake.
