A fitting end for a U.S. backed war of aggression on
a nation that was once the richest and well-developed country in North Africa,
the head of the African Union, a nation that shared its oil wealth with its
people under Gadhafi's "Green" type of socialism.
Now Libya is devastated. Salafi extremists run
willy-nilly across the country. Different militia's run different parts of the
country. The nation is virtually divided between East and West. The
infrastructure is devastated and Libya is still in ruins. Still, the country is
producing oil for the West using "Petrodollars".
Now we head for Syria, the nation run by the supposedly
demonic dictator Bashir Al Assad. This supposedly dictatorial State had a few
protests during the Arab Spring. Still, let me tell you what Syria was really
like.
During the Iraq War, over 1.2
million refugees, both Sunni and Shia, fled to Syria. Syria graciously let
them in.
The
UNHCR is trying hard to prevent Syria's better healthcare from drawing "medical
tourism' from Iraq. The UN supports Syrian healthcare and education by building
new schools, for instance, and introducing new educational methods. "It is
important to continue this assistance," Dakhlallah said, "so Damascus won't
suddenly decide it has had enough. So far, Syria has been more than generous."
Still, the UNHCR expects that international financial contributions will
dwindle as the world's attention shifts away from Iraq and its refugees. "Iraq
is no longer the world's biggest problem, but this would be exactly the wrong
moment to pull out. A lot of refugees can't return," Dakhlallah said.
Syria
has been a
generous host to Iraqi refugees. More than 70 percent of the Iraqi refugees
currently registered in Syria have lived there for over four years. Although
many Iraqi refugees left Iraq with some savings, after years of exile, these
savings have run out. As a result, refugees rely on food and financial
assistance from UNHCR.
So what has one of the most modern, cosmopolitan,
and the most tolerant society in the Middle-East get subject to? The second
great "Proxy War" courtesy of the United States, Turkey, NATO, Saudi
Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and Israel. Heavy weapons, logistical material, Night
Vision goggles, material support, R&R Areas to recuperate from paid warfare
in Syria, all the goodies that make up a great "Proxy War".
The Jihadists, extremists, mercenaries and Soldiers
of Fortune drift into the country's borders, plant car bombs to go off in
crowded cities, slit civilian's throats, grab prisoners of war from the Syrian
Army and execute them. These people are not Syrians. They are paid "Proxy
soldiers". All of the so-called "atrocities" that Bashir Al Assad's Army was supposed
to have committed have been found to be the work of the foreign mercenaries.
The Syrian Army has not deserted their President, a
London-Trained Ophthalmologist, and a man who never thought he would enter
politics.
Bashar Al-Assad and his Wife
Al-Assad graduated from
the medical school of the University of Damascus in 1988, and started to work
as a physician in the army. Four years later, he attended postgraduate studies
at the Western Eye Hospital, in London, specializing in ophthalmology. In 1994,
after his elder brother Bassel, the heir apparent to their father, was killed
in a car crash, Bashar was hastily recalled to Syria to take over Bassel's
role. He entered the military academy and in 1998, Al-Assad took charge of the
Syrian occupation of Lebanon. In December 2000, Assad married Asma Assad, nà ©e
Akhras. Al-Assad was elected as President of Syria in 2000 and 2007, unopposed
each time
This is what is happening in Syria. This is no "Freedom
movement", this is an orchestrated "proxy war". Syria will be smashed to
smithereens, its infrastructure destroyed and its progress pushed back decades.
It will be ruled by fundamentalist Islamists that have no regard for any other
sect of Islam. The country will be led by the nose by Saudi Arabia and company,
subjecting women to a horrible fate.
Now we are claiming that Northern Mali is being
taken over by a shadowy force known as Al Qaida in the Maghreb. Don't you believe it. This is a Taureg rebel succession
and it's been going on for years. France, who used to be the colonial power in
the region, is pushing to get back in there.
Reach out to your Representatives in Washington.
Tell them to stop the Obama Administration from running this "Proxy War". Tell
your friends neighbors and families about this horrible crime we are committing
on Syria. Do it now.
