    Particularly insidious is the Wall Street Journal, which referred to the suffering population as "the regime's supporters" or "Assad's loyalists," implying that they deserve their fate.

    The Journal wrote that the Caesar Act "marked the first action under new powers meant to punish the regime’s supporters."

    From an earlier piece:
    A cynical attempt to justify the sanctions. Just assume everyone supports the government and are therefore fair game.
