Legitimate Right of Self-Defence
The ongoing in Syria is but the legitimate right of self-defence against different Arab, regional and international trouble-makers, who do thrive on the suffering and pain of others!
The majority of the Syrian peaceful and harmonious society have for so long prided themselves in their unique model life of tolerance, amity and fraternity. These very Syrians are nowadays caught in a dilemma regarding the unjustifiable ferocity of the attacks carried against them by foreign-backed groups of ignorant terrorists who- for different silly reasons- sold their souls to Satan, sadly, some in return for the promised Hurriayat, others for even small amounts of money!
This has never been the Syrian mentality, psychology or way of life. The Syrians are very well-known worldwide for their genius, peacefulness, amity and fraternity. One would wonder in such a case whether living in a nightmare or unbearable reality! Personally, I think this is but the blueprints of the groups exported to our country from across the borders by very well known so-called Sheikhs of darkness, by lords of war, invasions and destruction.
It is such a rotten exported to us commodity which motivates a highly respected and veteran politician like President Vladimir Putin of Russia to state, in a recent RTTV interview, that the opposition’s use of foreign fighters, particularly al Qaeda militants, is dangerous: “you might just as well unlock Guantanamo, arm all of its inmates and bring them to Syria to do the fighting – it’s practically the same kind of people.”
Actually, some countries have already unlocked their own Guantanamos, sending their home-made terrorists in so-called ‘jihadi’ missions against the Syrians People. On the 3rd of September, the Minister of information, Omran al-Zoubi, did raise a rhetorical question regarding those who can set free ” Turkish inmates and send them to fight in another country”, and who can ” get them out of prison and send them to Syria”, citing the case of Osman Karahan, Al Qaeda lawyer- charged once with funding members of Al-Qaeda- who was killed in Aleppo, not to mention the fact that the terrorists who were with Karahan were responsible for blowing up a British bank, consulate and two synagogues in Istanbul in 2003, killing 63 people and wounding 750, before being arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment.
However, the majority, thanks to the sacrifices of our heroes in the Armed and security forces, have had their decisive stand in defense of Syria’s integrity, sovereignty, and unity. Undoubtedly, the exploiters and thieves of earth and human resources, mainly of oil and gas, are to be held accountable for their non-leaving a peaceful people live in peace.
