The PNCR and Rupert Roopnarine (I am not sure if Roopnarine was speaking for the WPA or not), criticised the government for its abstention from the vote at the UN on the resolution to sanction the Syrian government in the conflict that is going on there.
Granger and Roopnarine both attacked and condemned the government’s position.
I wish to support the stand taken by the administration; in fact, the government should have gone further and voted against that resolution.
The U.S. has a tendency to get these resolutions and then expand on them to take military action.  This was the case in Iraq and was the same thing with Libya.
In both cases, hundreds of thousands of people were brutally killed.  The countries are in total disarray and a complete mess.  A look at most of the places where the U.S. intervened will reveal that the situation invariably gets worse.
They are also strangely silent on the real government oppression that is taking place in Bahrain, where anti-government demonstrators are mowed down by helicopter gunships.  This is a mere footnote on BBC & CNN.
In relation to Syria, it is important to note that from the beginning, there was outside interference.  It is not by chance that the “uprising” began in Syrian’s border town and from the inception was well armed.

It is now being reported (reports that are being suppressed by the mainstream press in the U.S.) that many foreign fighters are with the Syrian rebels, including Al Qaida fighters.  Strangely,the U.S. and Al Qaida are on the same side.
The rebel group is so well informed that they were able to strike a serious blow to the Syrian government in which four top leaders of the Assad government were assassinated.
The opposition is shooting down Syrian airplanes from the skies.
Guyana should not have abstained; the better position would have been a vote against, since the internal fighting was instigated, financed and armed from outside.  Turkey for sure is involved.  I am sure the U.S. and NATO are similarly playing a negative role.
