I just feel this is so incredibly tragic.


  • Syria was a country where moslems and Christians were living happily side by side, each group having the option to be as religious or as secular as they wanted.
  • They had a good standard of education and a decent free health care system.
  • The country was reforming at a steady pace.
  • Syria had taken care of millions of refugees from around the Middle East, primarily Iraqis and Palestinians. It showed great generosity on the part of the state and the people there.
  • It's one of the oldest civilisations on earth and it's got amazing cities and structures that are on the world heritage list.


They're now going to be attacked, occupied, westernised / Americanised, dragged screeming and kicking into the global econonomy, which, for them will mean a position near the bottom: Sweatshop country.

Their country will then be exploited for bases and to further the US ultimate objective of invading the oil trophy No 1: IRAN.
That is the real name of the game; all serious security analysts are quite honest about it if you read serious articles in broadsheet papers.

And all this was roadmapped back in the 1990s, when the USA realised that sans the USSR, the Middle East would be theirs for the picking, if they played the manipulation and propaganda cards right. And it's not a consipiracy theory; the proof is available on Wikileaks and even Youtube,

Sure, the Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya interventions were miserable failures, from a human and democracy perspective. But the bases are there, and the oil is flowing, on Western conditions.... No price too high for that.

Bring your wallets out, Americans, because you will be funding yet another decade long war, and eventually the Iran war that's now written in the sky.
