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.
