This
picture is haunting and it’s been floating around the internet with the
sentence:
The last sentence a 3-year-old Syrian said before he died:“I’m gonna tell God everything”
And that’s equally haunting. It’s impossible to verify but
the picture tells a story about the pain and suffering that exists in Syria
right now. There are many in the media who would like to say this is
because president Bashar al-Assad is a ruthless killer. And that’s half
true. Like other government leaders – he has engaged in war and with that
war has come the death of tens of thousands and the displacement of over 1
million Syrians now living in refugee camps.
But this hasn’t always been the case. This is the
inevitable result of a covert war being waged by the U.S., Israel and other
Sunni countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Our interests in taking down
the Syrian dictator al-Assad are all about geo-politics. If we take out
Syria – we neuter Iranian influence in the region. It has gotten so bad
that al-Qaeda is now fighting on the same side as the United States government
and Bashar al-Assad and his government are fighting al-Qaeda. And Syrians
are all the victim of this massive global covert proxy war.
It has gotten to the
point where we don’t even know if the chemical weapons that were used in Syria
were the result of al-Qaeda or the Syrian government. When it comes to
matters of intelligence and propaganda – it’s very hard to discern truth from
fiction. But no one can deny that Syria was a very stable country
until we decided to go in all guns blazing. We’re not bringing democracy
to the world – that’s the sound of imperialism baby.
