Jump To Comment: 1 2I find it interesting that our Nobel “peace” prize winner is now offering support to the Assad regime through this pro-regime “pacifist” nun . Mairead's capitulation to imperialism was complete many years ago as I thought was made abundantly clear on indymedia http://www.indymedia.ie/article/102893 after she offered ” support” to Julian Assange.
The myth about the Assad regime being in some ways opposed to imperialism is exposed in the Socialist Democracy (see link below ) article “Yet while the situation may inexorably drive towards some kind of imperialist intervention, the outstanding fact to date has been the reluctance of imperialist states--and above all Israel--to lend any concrete support (or in Israel's case, even verbal support) to the opposition trying to overthrow Assad's tyrannical capitalist dictatorship.”

I am not clear why Mairead's support for Julian Assange is used as part of your argument for Mairead's capitulation to imperialism
On the other point referred to the Socialist Democracy article -namely:
Yet while the situation may inexorably drive towards some kind of imperialist intervention, the outstanding fact to date has been the reluctance of imperialist states--and above all Israel--to lend any concrete support (or in Israel's case, even verbal support) to the opposition trying to overthrow Assad's tyrannical capitalist dictatorship.”
Socialist Democracy are fundamentally wrong in ascertaining that. It is quite clear and that there has been considerable help, aid, finance and training provided to the so-called rebels but in reality terrorists, given by UK, France and Turkey. And we can be sure that none of these would make such a move without the all-clear from Washington.
