Many commentators show different approaches to the same type of problem, cynically detemined by who the players are. In Syria, they ignore sovereignty, and urge the  overthrow of Assad because he forcefully defends his state and its secularism against a Sunni religious insurgency, fomented from Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, The US and Turkey. However, at the same time, in the name of that same  sovereignty, they strongly support the Kiev regime in its efforts to violently destroy the Eastern Ukraine uprising, supported by Russia and associated states. Clearly there is no moral justification of these positions. They are based on political, reigious, ethnic and commercial interests. Canada should be attepting to have these issues resolved peacefully.
