#1 In Wisconsin, the Shabiha were the Public Employee Unions and various other lefties. They lost because the contest was an election and their thug tactics only could intimidate a small number of voters.
In Syria, the Shabiha are in a contest with guns and people are not just intimidated, they are killed. No doubt there are Alamite shabiha and Hezbollah shabiha and Sunni shabiha and probably even some Kurd shabiha. Probably the best thing we could do at this point would be to convertly aid the Kurd shabiha and, if some Christian shabiha exist, aid them too. |
