Perhaps one of the most inglorious accomplishments of the Western-backed/Gulf-funded Syrian opposition is that it has - and over the course of mere months no less - managed to inflict such a colossal, irreparable damage to the Syrian people’s future prospects of having a real, homegrown and genuine uprising to bring about positive change in their own country.

Thanks to the devious Syrian National Counsel and the crazed Free Syrian Army; the term “revolution” has sadly lost its worth and luster for a sizable portion of the Syrian populace, and in the Arab world in general, as the word itself has become marred by abhorrent stigmas of sectarianism, religious fanaticism, succumbing to foreign agendas, subjugation of national integrity and social disintegration.

We must admit to the SNC, the FSA and their Western patrons their unrivaled ability in transforming what was essentially a flicker of hope into an entire landscape of desolation and ruin.
