This is often the case. Democracy can be the basis of the administration of internal national affairs. At the same time imperialism can be the rule of foreign policy. Thus American foreign policy is overtly based on “national interest,” a euphemism for justifying American imperialism. The direct subordination of third-world nations by military occupation is now replaced by indirect forms, where military superiority is seconded with financial might.
Those who reject democracy because it is associated in the West with imperialism are making a big mistake. Democracy is not necessarily linked to imperialism and exploitation of the weak. A country like Syria is entitled to the benefits of democracy. In this case, democracy can be the best deterrent of imperialism, as we have seen it when Syria occupied Lebanon and exploited it financially.

]]> Comment on The Abdulrazaq Tlass affair and the naked truth by salas http://syriaintransition.com/2012/09/24/the-abdulrazaq-tlass-affair-and-the-naked-truth/#comment-1371 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:52:51 +0000 http://syriaintransition.com/?p=491#comment-1371 I don’t know. Seems like a cheap trick that has been used ever since the advent of propaganda and media technology. Whether its the internet or newspapers/posters.

Sounds like something out of Assads book of tricks and “how to villanize an uprising 101″.

It’s a dodgy unclear video too.
