As French President Francois Hollande calls for the “neutralization of Bashar Assad”, British Defence Minister Michael Fallon announces preparations for “Striking ISIL in Syria [...] [to] keep our streets safe here at home” and Turkish media proclaims “Aleppo to become the 82nd province of Turkey” ; it is worth remembering the September 2011 visits by the arch-war criminals French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the NATO-occupied Libya.

Libyans wellcome Sarkozy and Cameron as liberators

“This does go beyond Libya; this is a moment when the Arab spring could become an Arab summer and we see democracy advance in other countries too. I believe you have the opportunity to give an example to others about what taking back your country can mean.”

“Do you know what I was thinking, walking round the streets of Tripoli and the hospital corridors? I was dreaming that one day young Syrians will have the same opportunity young Libyans are enjoying today, and that one day they too can say: “democracy and peaceful revolution are for us”. So perhaps the best thing I can do is dedicate our visit to Tripoli to all those people hoping Syria, too, can one day be a free country.”

Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya'alon stands aside.

Jerusalem Post, 19 February 2014

“On the day that the world powers are opening talks in Vienna with Iran, it is important for the world to see pictures from this place. This place separates the good in the world from the evil in the world. The good is Israel, which saves lives from the daily slaughter taking place in Syria. This is the true face of Israel. The evil, is Iran, which is arming those carrying out the slaughter. All the children wounded, to say nothing of those killed, were harmed as a result of Iran arming, financing and training the Assad regime in the mass slaughter it is perpetrating. From here, I want to say to the world, as the talks between the major powers and Iran are being resumed, that Iran has not changed its aggressive policies. Iran has not changed its brutal character; Iran continues to support the Assad regime, which is slaughtering its citizens. This is the true face of Iran, and the world must not forget that.”

[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, remarks to the press during his visit to a wounded NATO mercenary-terrorist who receivess treatment in a Israeli military field hospital in the occupied Golan near Israel's border with Syria, 18 February 2014]
