Thank you for saying this. There is a tendency to talk about this conflict as if it were a football game - one team against another with a unifying goal and means of getting there.
These are people we are talking about. People, oh I don't know, just like Americans with all sorts of viewpoints and opinions. Many of whom are watching helplessly while all their world goes to shit.
Myself, I am not watching, but I know it is shit all the same.
