myhand's analogy is no better than those he's claiming to be faulty.

It'd be more akin to finding a group of students at a school who are being abused by the faculty and then supplying those students with weaponry.

It's not just the suppliers of the weapons and the students that rebel that share the blame. The initial problem was the abusive faculty. Perhaps supplying the victims with weapons wasn't the best way to solve the problem, but it is not the source of the problem. That however is not to say it didn't exacerbate the problem.

You are incorrect. Just because one guy comes around and supplies weapons to certain members of the students, it doesnt mean that the faculty is abusive. The elementary school of Iran had a perfectly democratic faculty, much like El Salvador, Chile and many others, yet our guy came around and supplied them with weapons. He supplied them to faulty members of the students community, fascists, fundamentalists etc.

So our problem is not related to the legitimation of the leadership of the school, but rather to the particular interests of our criminal guy.

It is obvious that the USA and some EU countries are trying to break Syrian sovereignty like the USA did with some country's before. So you can not trust propaganda of western media. When you do some deep research you will find that Assad is a great person and leader.

You all sound like 2 year olds.

"My analogy is correct"
"No! My analogy is much better and precise!"

If we could stop using analogies and just explain it how it is, that'd be great.

P.s. i just used an analogy to critique your analogies.

To be honest I think "leader of a country" and "great person and leader" may be mutually exclusive. I think the USA and EU shouldn't be in Syria at all. I also don't think Assad is a great person, but there likely aren't too many people better than Assad who are willing to replace him.

(Genghis your attempt to stop our analogies is like the Mongols trying to tear down the entire great wall of china. It was never gonna happen.)
A better analogy to all of yours is that Sam, our supplier, finds a bunch of schools where a student is in a fight with a member of the faculty. Sometimes the faculty has instigated the fight through abusiveness, and sometimes the student is a class bully that started the fight. However the fight started, unless Sam knows the teacher personally, Sam almost always gives the weapons to the student. Sometimes Sam decides that the teacher absolutely needs to go down, so they attempt to arm anybody willing to fight the teacher. This often results in the teacher being taken down, then the students turn the weapons on each other and Sam.

Except mongols never tried to destroy the great Wall. We pulled a Fall Gelb.

More correct would be, a guy goes from school to school, finding him some outsiders, supply them with weapons and encourage them to go on a homocidal rampage, so that he can take over the school indirectly, or directly later in justifying his intervention.

He did that in countless schools before, Guatemala Elementary, Honduras Middle School, El Salvador School for Higher Learning, Venezuela University, Ecuador School of Economics, Bolivia Elementary, Lybia Technical University, Vietnam People University, Iraq Modern School and so on, and so on.

While the homicidal maniac with the gun must be stopped, it should be clear who the real bad guy behind all the school killings is and who also must be stopped to prevent future schools from being victimized. Not to mention that he should be put to trial.


This is a very thin analogy, and this must be someone who really likes schools :)

Analogies help bring it down; they are the graphs of unumeric information.
