The Syrian Tragedy
Syrien ist die Schande des Westens. Ein moralischer Makel, nicht geringer als der des spanischen Bürgerkriegs in den 1930er Jahren. Verrat maskiert als Diplomatie. Realpolitik statt richtige Politik. Machtinteressen, die Menschenleben kosten. Es ist alles so schwer zu verstehen, heißt es immer. Es ist so unübersichtlich, heißt es immer. Wir können nichts tun, heißt es immer. Unsinn, sagt Carsten Stormer. Er war dort, in Syrien, im Krieg, auf mehreren Reisen seit 2011. Er hat als Reporter gesehen, was dieser Krieg für die Syrer bedeutet, er hat Helden getroffen, die keine sein wollen. Er hat die Toten gesehen, das Blut, die Angst und das Elend. Er hat mehr gesehen, als er sehen wollte. Und hat darüber geschrieben. Klar, berührend, wütend. Weil das die einzige Art ist, den Wahnsinn zu begreifen. Carsten Stormer hat ein Land gesehen, das geopfert wird. Und die Welt schaut zu.

Tragic through and through. Whence redemption?
Read
April 19, 2017"Bashar al-Assad’s tanks are only two hundred meters away. Victims arrive by the minute, transported in the back seats and trunks of cars and on pickup beds. Aid workers bring wounded civilians and rebels into the waiting room and carry out the dead, leaving a trail of blood on the tiles behind them."
Really? All that civilian driving around with tanks two hundred meters away? Were the tanks empty? Burning? Kind of like the bombs reported to be falling all around Hillary as she landed in Bosnia. Exciting but not convincing after thinking about it.
I agree with getting Assad out of power (so no bad reviews from me) but it's not because of gripping frontline reporting.
