[Debate] Trita Parsi on Libya, Syria, and Iran

[Ran Greenstein]

A large part of this exchange is bogus: most people on this list, and
most of those outside of it who belong to the left, supported the
imposition of a no-fly zone to prevent the regime forces from
massacring the people of Benghazi (a real threat at the time).
Neitherothing more nor less. No-one has endorsed any attacks on
civilians (black or otherwise). In any event, the extent to which the
rebels/Nato forces used the Debate list as a guideline in conducting
the war is fairly limited
