\"\"<\/a>If you care about rebels the world over, as Sens. John McCain, Joseph Lieberman and Lindsey Graham think you ought to, consider the fate of one brave rebel. Stacked as they are with The Dictator\u2019s judges, the courts in this rebel\u2019s country want to place him behind bars for shooting a predator on his property. Ursus arctos horribilis is a wild and extremely dangerous carnivore that thrives in the northwestern parts of this dictator\u2019s dominion.<\/p>\n

The tribesman is guilty of no more than aggressively repelling from human habitat a creature that had become brazen, making itself at home near the man\u2019s six young children, as they frolicked.<\/p>\n

It used to be that the country\u2019s tribesmen instilled fear in encroaching beasts, animal and human. But due to decades of cultural and legal emasculation, under a succession of like-minded dictators, the queered men folk are no longer licensed to protect home and hearth. If they do, they risk losing their liberty.<\/p>\n

One man\u2019s freedom fighter is another man\u2019s terrorist. Our rebel\u2019s plight would never be popularized by CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper or the rest of America\u2019s journalistic priesthood. For he is an American, one among many.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeremy M. Hill, 33,<\/a> pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court to killing a grizzly bear with a rifle on his 20-acre property near Porthill, Idaho, at the Canadian border.<\/p>\n

At least five of Mr. Hill\u2019s six young kids, ranging in age from 14 years to 10 months, were home when their dad killed a brown bear that had gone after penned pigs the kids had been raising.<\/p>\n

I wonder how many Syrian rebels or regulars President Bashar al-Assad<\/a> has arrested for shooting wild animals that had threatened their families.<\/p>\n

If given the choice, this scribe would choose the absolute right to defend life and property over the democratic vote, any day.<\/p>\n

Fighters for the family and the farm are never \u201crebels.\u201d Or so McCain, Lieberman and Graham would impatiently insist. Wresting dominion from the distributive state: now that\u2019s the defining battle of an \u201cauthentic\u201d freedom fighter.<\/p>\n

Order lIana Mercer\u2019s brilliant polemical work, \u201cInto the Cannibal\u2019s Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking of our Syrian soul mates, the Free Syria Army, aka \u201cThe Rebels\u201d: By now you\u2019ve viewed their handiwork.<\/a> Purity of arms is not exactly their military or moral motto. In footage uploaded to the Internet Aug. 2, members of the Free Syria Army were captured committing war crimes. They lined up pro-government militia against a wall in the city of Aleppo<\/a> and mowed them down.<\/p>\n

Where have we seen a similar scene<\/a> before? Yes, yes, on YouTube. But YouTube is not a place, America; Libya is.<\/p>\n

Backed by American drones and French fighter jets above, another bunch of rebels to whom the U.S. took a shine intercepted Col. Moammar Gadhafi as he fled his hometown of Sirte, dragged him from his vehicle and lynched him then and there.<\/p>\n

To these rebels\u2019 blood-curdling harangues of \u201cAllahu Akbar,\u201d Hillary Rodham Clinton added her own ululation. \u201cWe came, we saw, he died!\u201d cackled the secretary of state in solidarity, when tidings arrived of the actions of her thugs of choice.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s three neoconservative amigos, aforementioned, consider the Syrian rebels and the Syrian people one and the same. McCain, Lieberman and Graham advocate providing their side in the Syrian civil war with \u201cweapons, tactical intelligence, communications equipment, financing, medical supplies\u201d<\/a> and much more.<\/p>\n

Political illiteracy being a precondition for political office, these \u201cthree blind mice,\u201d naturally, don\u2019t know Shia from Shinola<\/a>. Grasping Syria\u2019s ethnic and religious mix is clearly beyond the ken of one John McCain.<\/p>\n

A new book, \u201cRevolt in Syria: Eye-witness to the Uprising,\u201d<\/a> might guide the perplexed in peeling back the onion of the Syrian enigma.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo put it simply,\u201d writes its Times Literary Supplement reviewer, \u201cthe Alawite sect, to which Bashar al-Assad belongs, is favored by the regime. The Christians are in a similar position. Therefore, both of these groups support the government. The Sunnis are a marginalized majority, so many turn to political Islam to find a voice. The Kurds are non-Arabs in an \u2018Arab Republic.\u2019 Many do not feel Syrian and even support Israel. Damascenes are isolated and care little for anything outside Damascus.\u201d<\/p>\n

The analysis in \u201cRevolt in Syria\u201d makes it clear that the divisions between the factions are in flux. \u201cThere are Sunnis who \u2018would die for the president,\u2019\u201d as are there anti-government Christians.<\/p>\n

The recent slaughter perpetrated by her preferred sect has yet to elicit Secretary Clinton\u2019s familiar hee-haws.<\/a><\/p>\n

Given her history in Libya, Hillary is likely postponing the hoedown<\/a> for when her proxies eliminate Bashar al-Assad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
