NATO Rats are - again, as in Libya - causing chaos violence in death in a once orderly and stable nation: Syria

US to Provide $60 Million for Syrian Opposition by VOA News February 28, 2013 U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday announced $60 million in additional aid to the Syrian opposition and also for the first time an unspecified amount of non-lethal aid to some of its military forces. The announcement came in Rome where Kerry attended a meeting with the Syrian opposition leaders and officials from dozens of countries supporting them. Kerry said the $60 million will enable the opposition to provide services in areas it controls and help build its local support. Militant groups have filled that role in some areas, raising concerns in the West. The military aid combat rations and medical supplies will be the first provided by the United States directly to the opposition military council. Kerry said the international community is committed to working with the Syrian opposition 'with peace as a first resort.' ' They are the legitimate voice of the Syrian people. And that stands in very stark contrast to the rule of Bashar al-Assad, who long ago lost his legitimacy and who is out of time and who must be out of power,' said Kerry. The Syrian opposition wants weapons, and was hoping for at least equipment like body armor and armored vehicles. The United States is concerned about any supplies being passed to the militants, who have many of the most effective fighting units. Concern over militants At a news conference Thursday, after what is called the Friends of Syria meeting, Kerry referred to the concern about militants, and the balance the international community is trying to strike between pressing for an end to the Assad regime and not strengthening the extremists. "We can't risk letting this country in the heart of the Middle East be destroyed by vicious autocrats or hijacked by the extremists,' he said. 'In supporting the Syrian Opposition Coalition and the Free Syrian Army, we reject both of those choices." Kerry has said the United States wants to 'change the calculation' Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is making as he clings to power and orders increasingly brutal attacks on civilian areas. "What we're doing today is part of a whole, and I am very confident that that whole is going to have the ability for President Assad to realize he better start measuring more effectively what his future is, what his choices are and what kinds of weapons he uses,'

'So I'm very confident in what the president [Obama] has put forward today as the beginning of a process that will, in fact, change his [Assad's] calculation," Kerry said. Opposition demands The president of the Syrian Opposition Coalition, Mouaz al-Khatib, spoke forcefully at the news conference, calling on President Assad to stop bombing civilian areas. Khatib also expressed impatience with his foreign supporters, who he believes are overly concerned about their aid falling into the hands of terrorists. 'No terrorists in the world have such a savage nature as that of the Syrian regime," he said. The meeting's communique said the opposition coalition would soon appoint someone to lead an interim government that would operate inside Syria. That was expected to come at a meeting scheduled for Istanbul on Saturday. But the activists announced Thursday that the meeting was called off. Khalid Saleh, director of the media office for the Syrian National Coalition, told VOA that some coalition members were unable to attend because they were not consulted about the date and because some members had scheduling conflicts. Saleh said the activists plan to reschedule the election of an interim prime minister within a few days. 'No new date has been set. I cannot reveal the reasons at this time and I do not exclude its cancellation,' opposition member Samir Nashar told the French news agency.

NATO Rats are - again, as in Libya - causing chaos violence in death in a once orderly and stable nation: Syria Recent events in the Arab world have given Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephans Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict an important timeliness. Erica Chenoweth recently wrote Think Again: Nonviolent Resistance, published in Foreign Policy, which we will feature next week. She also just published an article on the web site Waging Nonviolence in which she examines the question of whether nonviolence resistance could have worked succeeded in Libya. Chenoweth admits that the success of the Libyan uprising will, no doubt, be remembered as a successful case of violent insurgency. However, as she argues, a nonviolent resistance never had time to take hold. Qaddafis crackdown on peaceful protest turned violent very quickly which led rebels to adopt violence. Nonviolent campaigns, Chenoweth points out, need time to organize and to develop other methods of resistance such as boycotts, work slowdowns, etc. The turn to violence by Libyan rebels put them in a precarious position and gave Qaddafi a pretext for adopting extremely harsh measures. While Chenoweth admits that Qaddafi would have undoubtedly repressed a nonviolent protest movement, she suggests that adopting violence put the rebels at a major force disadvantage, and its unlikely that they would have succeeded without NATOs air support.

NATO Rats are - again, as in Libya - causing chaos violence in death in a once orderly and stable nation: Syria Erica Chenoweth concludes by citing reports of the role civil resistance did play in the success of the Libyan uprising. She writes: Khaled Darwishs op-ed in the New York Times today seems to corroborate this account, describing how women and children rushed into the streets of Tripoli before the rebel advance, how civilians blocked apartment rooftops from snipers, and how they sang and chanted over loudspeakers in unity against Qaddafis regime. If these descriptions are true, then civil resistance had a pretty important part in the endgame of the Libyan revolution, and as such, deserves at least some credit for the oppositions victory.
