Ajami barely stopped short of urging all-out war. Perhaps a follow-up column will do so. He does what his paymasters demand. He shames himself in the process. So do likeminded warmonger allies.
They support what demands condemnation. They shift focus from one conflict zone to others. They're mindless of right and wrong issues.
Advancing America's imperium alone matters. The road to Tehran runs through Damascus. Balkanizing Syria is planned. Replicating Libya is likely. Out-of-control lawlessness will follow. Violence won't end.
Today's Libya is fragmented and violent. Two or three states exist. Central government is illusory. Tribal clans maintain local authority. Green resistance wants Libya liberated. Protracted struggle continues.
Imagine replicating what should be avoided. Apparently it's what Washington has in mind. So does Israel.
War remains ongoing. Syria's being ravaged and destroyed. Hundreds of thousands may die. Greater conflict may follow.
The entire region and beyond may explode. Might over right madness risks global war.
It's hard imagining what no leader should tolerate. Weren't any past last lessons learned? Wasn't twice bitten enough?
