THE INSANE DESTRUCTION OF SYRIA BY
THE WEST

I know the way of thinking of Finian Cunningham
and I noticed that her original writing of this article has been adulterated.
That is why I added the question mark in the title.
WESTERN IMPERIALISM’S CREATIVE DESTRUCTION IN SYRIA?
By Finian Cunningham (SCF). Feb 20th, 2014 [Here only a brief extracts]
How
depraved can such thinking get? Creative solutions for Western imperialism flow
from its very own destructive predations?. Lost in the destruction, it seems,
is any ability for intelligent reasoning and cognition among Western thinkers
and planners to face up to the real nature of
the problem in Syria : Western imperialism.
We begin with the premise that the humanitarian crisis in
Syria over the past nearly three years is largely as a result of a Western
covert proxy war inflicted on that country. The objective is to destabilize,
terrorize and eventuate regime change in the Arab country.
[,,,]
The Guardian reports on February 12:
«The vast majority of those leaving the Old City [of Homs] were heading for the
homes of relatives in other parts of Homs, according to the UN.»
Now think about that. If the Syrian government
forces were really imposing a barbaric siege on citizens in the Old City
district, as the Western media maintain, would those emerging starving citizens
then voluntarily go to government-held areas for refuge and respite?
Testimony from some of the Homs’
evacuees bears that view out too. One mother told how life within the trapped
city was like «living in a jungle of monsters». She added that the militants
would habitually steal whatever meager food rations the civilians had in their
possession.
Several other sources, such as the
Governor of Homs, Talal al-Bazzari, confirm that the Syrian government has
worked along with the UN and Syrian Arab Red Crescent to break the siege. Aid
convoys and evacuation vehicles have been fired on with gunfire and mortars.
Reliable sources indicate that it was the militants within the Old City
district who opened fire. This is consistent with previous warnings from these
same groups that they would attack any UN aid convoys trying to enter the area.
The same hostage-taking,
human-shield scenario prevails in the militant-held Yarmouk district of
Damascus and in Aleppo. It is clear therefore that the humanitarian crisis
within besieged Syrian cities is the pernicious creation of Western-backed
mercenaries – the same mercenaries who have been infiltrated into Syria to
destroy that country in order to bring about Western regime change.
The humanitarian plight within the
besieged city of Homs and other urban areas could serve as a microcosm of the
entire conflict that Syria has been subjected to for the past three years. An
entire nation has been held to ransom by external forces, comprising Al Qaeda
foreign jihadists on the ground, all the way up to Western politicians sitting
in high office.
What is disturbing about this criminal process of
Western creative destruction is that the cycle does not stop once unleashed. The Western-backed mercenaries create the appalling
humanitarian suffering within besieged cities, but instead of that narrative
and its authors being rigorously held to account, as it should owing to the
emerging facts and testimonies, the Western propagandists move on to another creative-destructive
cycle.
Both the Financial Times and the New
York Times have this week carried op-ed pieces, which stridently argue that the
humanitarian crisis in Syria’s cities now merits a full-on Western military
intervention.
Max Boot, a senior fellow at the
US-based Council on Foreign Relations, writes in the Financial Times comparing
Syria with Rwanda and Srebrenica, and he blames all the horror on the «Assad
regime» with a litany of outright falsehoods.
Boot says: «No one is suggesting
sending ground troops. But options range from doing more to arm the moderate
opposition [sic], to declaring a no-fly zone. Drones could strike al-Qaeda
operatives in Syria; air power could create humanitarian zones near the Turkish
and Jordanian borders. The US could also take the lead in referring Mr Assad
and his aides for war crimes prosecution.»
He adds: «The UN Security Council is
unlikely to support such steps, but the US would not have to act alone. Allies
from France to Saudi Arabia have been urging action and would be eager to
co-operate. But they will do little as long as Mr Obama refuses to act.»
This hoary «Responsibility to
Protect» appeal, which the US and its allies played as a pretext for
imperialist regime change in Libya in 2011, is also reiterated by Danny Postel
and Nader Hashemi in the New York Times, referring to the sieges in Syria as
«moral obscenities» and blaming Russia as «a major obstacle» for its support of
the Syrian government.
Postel and Hashemi contend: «We
should invoke the Responsibility to Protect, the principle that if a state
fails to protect its populations from mass atrocities — or is in fact the
perpetrator of such crimes — the international community must step in to
protect the victims… And if a multinational force cannot be assembled, then at
least some countries should step up… to provide the necessary force on the
ground, with air cover from participating nations.»
In case this hackneyed R2P appeal
does not work, Western opinion formers are also lately lining up other
«justifications» for military intervention in Syria, including the «threat from
Al Qaeda to Western countries» and the destabilization of the region’s security
from refugees fleeing the violence in Syria. All problems, it should be noted,
which are created by previous cycles of destructive Western covert intervention
in Syria.
How depraved can such thinking get?
Creative solutions for Western imperialism flow from its very own destructive
predations. Lost in the destruction, it seems, is any ability for intelligent
reasoning and cognition among Western thinkers and planners to face up to the
real nature of the problem in Syria : Western imperialism.
