Regional allies are complicit in supplying them. Israel's very much involved. So are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Turkey. Western war profiteers produce them.
Kerry provides diplomatic cover. He claims he wants peaceful conflict resolution. Washington's waging war to prevent it.
It's got blood on its hands. It bears full responsibility for tens of thousands of Syrian deaths. Kerry's complicit in high crimes. He's dismissive of anti-Assad death squad atrocities.
He blocked a Russian-sponsored Security Council resolution. It condemned recent ones in Damascus.
Washington Post editors barely stop short of urging all-out war. On February 27, they headlined "Washington's last chance to help Syria," saying:
Kerry's credibility is on the line. It's his job to assure regime change. "US policy must (help opposition fighters) establish a full-fledged alternative government on Syrian territory and recogniz(e) it as the legal government of Syria."
No matter that doing so has no legitimacy. No country or combination thereof may interfere in the internal affairs of others. International law is explicit. It's unequivocal.
Violators are war criminals. Post editors didn't explain. Regime change matters more. So does US regional dominance. Body counts are inconsequential achieving it.
