ARE WE CREATING JIHADIST IN THE US? THE SAME THAT WE SUPPORTED IN SYRIA?

ARE WE CREATING JIHADIST IN THE US?  THE SAME THAT WE SUPPORTED IN SYRIA?

Introduction

Violence creates violence. 

We are doing so since 2007 in Syria. In March 5, 2007 Seymour Hersh reported in the New Yorker  that the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Hariri in Lebanon as well as the Syrian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood were assembling, arming, training, and heavily funding a sectarian extremists front, many of whom had direct ties to Al Qaeda, to unleash in both Lebanon and Syria. http://nd-hugoadan.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-time-line-of-us-agression-on-syria.html 

This is what we did abroad and it is what American people rejected in streets and plazas across nation when they realize that the US is going to kill thousands more with the programed missile bombardment.  

Today when I was reading reports of the UN on chemical weapons used in Syria in Ag 21, I got the news of two gunmen, dressed in military-style clothing, who killed several people and wounded at least four others in a shooting spree at the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington.  I immediately put this incident in the world context of violence we live on. Before going the this point I wan t to make some point on Syria's crisis.

One of the UN chief inspector said “U.N. war crimes investigators know of 14 potential chemical attacks in Syria since 2011 when they began monitoring Syrian human rights” . http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/16/us-syria-crisis-pinheiro-chemical-idUSBRE98F0EM20130916   So, the uses of Chemical bombs in Syria goes before August 21. 

 He also said “Hardline Syrian rebels and foreign fighters invoking jihad, or holy war, have stepped up killings, executions and other abuses in the north since July, [including the bombing on a Hospital] U.N. human rights investigators said on Monday”. This jihad fighters are our allies.

Regarding the bombing in Ag 21 he said “We aren't able to say at this point in time which chemical agents nor which delivery systems nor who is responsible," he added.  Pinheiro concluded his news conference by saying:  "The use of chemical weapons is a war crime. There no dispute about that," http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/16/us-syria-crisis-warcrimes-idUSBRE98F08X20130916

The sad part in this story is that the most horrible war-crimes have been committed by the US since Hiroshima and Nagazaki. Now is seems that we are directly involved in Syria’s crime too.

What is the effect of the violence we promote worldwide inside of our nation?  We have it now (read the Reuters report below). 

One can say that there is not connection, come on.. we are living in a very interconnected world since the Vietnam time. Whatever we did in Iraq or Libya will affect our values, psychology and attitudes. The most vulnerable people to be affected are veterans or ex-soldiers, that seems to be the actors in the recent killing in Washington:

(Reuters) - Up to three gunmen, at least two dressed in military-style clothing, killed several people and wounded at least four others in a shooting spree at the U.S. Navy Yard on Monday, officials said.

A suspected gunman was among the dead and Washington D.C. police said they were searching for two other possible shooters they described as one white man and one black man.

The shooting hit the military establishment less than three weeks after U.S. Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan was sentenced to death for murdering 13 people in 2009 at Fort Hood, Texas, where he gunned down unarmed soldiers in what he later called retaliation for U.S. wars in Muslim countries.

The Washington Navy Yard is the oldest shore facility of the U.S. Navy. A former shipyard and ordinance plant, the facility in southeast Washington is currently home to the Naval Sea Systems Command, Navy museum and other facilities.

Pentagon spokesman George Little said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was receiving regular updates on the situation and was "obviously very concerned of reports that there has been loss of life."
