Тут в теме высказывались сомнения в том, что Запад заинтересован в Сирийских нефтересурсах никаким боком. Возможно так и есть.
Зато уже были другие интересы и тактика мало отличалась. Хотели всё-таки довести нефтепровод до Средиземноморья?

Цитата:
In 1984 the Nicaraguan government filed a suit in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against the United States. Nicaragua stated that the contras were completely created and managed by the U.S.[89] Although this claim was rejected, the court found overwhelming and undeniable evidence of a very close relationship between the Contras and the United States.[89] The U.S. was found to have had a very large role in providing financial support, training, weapons, and other logistical support to the Contras over a lengthy period of time, and that this support was essential to the Contras.[89]
Цитата:
Having initially argued that the ICJ lacked jurisdiction in the case, the United States withdrew from the proceedings in 1985.[90] The court eventually ruled in favor of Nicaragua, and judged that the United States was required to pay reparations for its violation of International law.[90] The U.S. used its veto on the United Nations Security Council to block the enforcement of the ICJ judgement, and thereby prevented Nicaragua from obtaining any compensation.[91]
Интересно, сможет ли Сирия подать аналогичный иск.
