If the people lead, the leaders will follow.
People must take leadership roles that however cannot simply be the violent
usurpation of power. If a leader leads by force, others will follow but
will stab him in the back; by courage, reason and justice, the people will die
for him.
Let us not lead by force, by attacks and by
destroying those above. We must lead by showing greater reason, true
justification and win the hearts of our leaders.
Write President Obama. Make note of the fact
that while perhaps a missile was fired by Syrian forces that contained chemical
weapons, we have no proof that this was the intent of the Syrian government and
that it wasn't the machination of some other interest with an agenda to incite
a military action.
Indeed, President Assad leads a country without
oil, a poor country that has been a service industry to the former U.S.S.R. and
Russia, housing and entertaining VIPs and diplomats and hosting sports teams
for their practice.
President Assad knows his country has no strength
compared to that of Iraq, which has been so thoroughly destroyed over and over
since 1991.
Indeed, it would be insane to think President Assad
voluntarily signed his own death certificate.
On the other hand, we have neo-cons and
neo-zionists in the U.S. who have been chomping at the bit to start a war in
Iran. Obstructed, they now see the possibility of starting a war in Syria
that will spill over into Iran. This would be an end run around obstacles
to the much desired profits of war.
Is it not possible that some official was bribed, a
warhead swapped to start a war? We have
been a part of an international gun- and drug-running team, formerly
Iran-Contra, that was pardoned when caught?
President Obama said if chemical weapons were used
the U.S. military would act? Might this be the reason the warhead was
swapped?
Based on President Obama's 2013 Federal
Discretionary Budget, education is to receive 6% of the funds; health 5%,
energy and the environment 3%, veterans benefits 5.5% and the DOD and weapons
programs 57%. We all know that departments get their budgets cut if the
money isn't all spent, so there is a great interest in spending every cent!
The 'Masters of War' have dragged the U.S. into
wars for profit through the decades with superficial justification. In
the case of Syria, perhaps the justifications are more than superficial.
Arms trafficking through Syria poses a threat to Israel. So how do we
protect Israel?
I believe our arguments must cut through all racial
and religious prejudices stating that is in any population is the spectrum of
personality types. There are good people, bad people, truthful people,
liars, greedy people, caring people and so on. Equipped with this
argument, we defy any prejudice against Americans, Jews, Arabs, Chinese, Hispanics,
etc.
Now we are equipped to make this argument to
President Putin of Russia and President Jinping of China. In the interest
of all people in the world we create a coalition to stop the illegal flow of
arms. We get President Putin and President Jinping to take the lead in
stopping the flow of arms that threatens Israel. We all work together
with transparency.
If President Obama would ask China, Russia, and
Saudi Arabia to help in the Palestinian peace process by stopping the flow of
illegal weapons to very poor people to instigate violence, we would have the
basis for a very positive coalition.
England and France would go along and so would the
rest of the world. The growth of the very notion that there are no
good-guy/bad-guy lines between societies, only a spectrum of behavior types
within every society, we would have Iran supporting our Peace Coalition in no
time.
Are dropping more bombs, orchestrating more covert
actions, and destroying more societies while stealing from the mouths of the poor
to make criminals rich still a viable alternative?
