1. China and Russia vetoed the recent western UN Security Council resolution because they feared that the west's intention, despite denials, was regime change in Syria by force.
The west has now decided to disprove their "disgusting" fears wrong by attempting regime change by force in Syria.

The west must therefore act to intensify and prolong the struggle in Syria by destabilizing countries surrounding Syria.
3. The best way to better human rights in a multi-faith country ruled by a secular plutocracy is to weaponize those backward religious forces that will provide for the most savaging sectarian-dictatorial rule possible.
