What a load of propaganda. There's no coherent argument for Syria's state involvement in any genocide, unless you seriously debase the value of that term.
Assad is a strong-man, indeed, but he protects a multi-ethnic, woman-empowering and minority enabling nation-state. Secular modernists, Christians, Druze, Alawi, Sunni and Shia, along with unusual proto-Islamic and pre-Christian minorities are treated equally as Syrian.
The armed, "Syrian" opposition, that seeks to topple him? Not so much. These are the Wahabbist fighters sponsored by US and Qatari dollars - who'd implement whippings and stonings for teaching girls to read. They are imports from all the world's disaffected - but particularly Saudis - where it is a state policy to send these dead-enders abroad on "holy mission" and deflect their rage from the Saudi state itself, which is the natural source of their deprivations and disenfranchisement.
Who's calling Assad "genocidal"? Winkler - a spook from the NSA. That's who. He is also NOT unaffiliated with that little regional country which seeks disruption and neutralization of its neighbors. It is a pity that he is allergic to Truth.
Not to put too fine a point on the matter, Fortran is still used to bust the n00bs.
It's academia, for God's sake! This is where Doctorae Philosophiae held forth discourse in Latin, as recently as 150 years ago, fully 1600 years after that language fell into conversational extinction.
Mr. Brand, when did you first discover the secret of initiation into the satanic cabal for which you are now a principle lieutenant, and is it actually true that your rites are of a lineage unbroken, from days of the black magicians in Babylon?
You know also, that the 200+ years of established Roman rule in Britain meant a huge garrison of legions from Spain, North Africa, Syria and Asia Minor.
These were the "Romans" south of Hadrian's wall - and thoroughly intermixed with the "British" population, prior to ol' Vortigern being burnt in his tower. From Cheshire to York, up to the Scot border were very much near-eastern.
EXACTLY. A few generations back, and everyone in modern, industrialized cities in both Americas and Western Europe come equally from multiple locations - and wide geographies.
Alexander Pushkin, the father of Russian literature and poetry was African in descent by 2 generations - as Ludwig Van Beethoven may have been by five or so. Where were the ancestries of these to be geo-located? Where that of my good friends from north Yorkshire, who 1000 years ago would have had the mixture of Dane, Briton and Syrian - the latter having been garrisoned and then pensioned a farm stead by Rome?
I would venture 25% of the modern Dutch have occult ancestry in Indonesia.
It goes on...
Hey! Welcome to your 24 hour, digital prison, fellow technophiles! It's COOL! I knw, 'cos there's a TED talk about how you will never be worried again in a Smart City, and WIRED magazine had a profile on it, too - from a real MIT PhD, with a research grant from a CIA funded think-tank.
BTW: Here's your ankle-bracelet. The health club provided it free, for your exercise routine! Keep up - or your insurance rates will skyrocket... You have Facebook, right? Better. That's the deal that Aetna cut with your employer.
A: A 14th Century Mystico-Philospher and early Natural Scientist was so insightful that he developed models with an uncanny anticipation of modern, post-special relativity Astrophysics.
B: The limits of modern models and measurements for the physical universe were exhausted - reaching a limit with Einstein and Heisenberg, etc., so that any further extrapolations require fantastical imaginations, worthy of 14th century Alchemysts.

There is NO "right side".
So then what you are saying is having an expensive camera doesn't automatically make someone an expert video camera operator?
Exactly. That's why this is the point where car analogies begin to break down.
