Syria: Six years of an orphaned revolt
 [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Marine Le Pen, the French extreme right’s presidential candidate, clearly summed up how the West regards the Syrian Revolt, which erupted six years ago.In an interview with al-Arabiya TV channel, she replied to a question about her view of Bashir al-Assad by saying: "If I were to choose between al-Assad and ISIS I shall choose al-Assad". This is a fact well-known to the sponsors and defenders of the Syrian regime. Thus, in order to save the regime it was necessary to derail the popular uprising, destroy its moderate armed and unarmed elements, and deprive the true ’revolutionaries’ of all kinds of support and protection. This is how we have reached the current ’ideal’ scenario. The Syrian people are now out of the equation. What has been unfolding for the last six years is being depicted before the world as a straight ’choice’ between a regime that is willing to concede to all but its own people and a dubious krazed killer terror most of which is foreign.
