“War is the greatest plague that can affect humanity; it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.” Martin Luther
What would a strike against Syria achieve? It’ll give Al-Qaeda a new base of operations as they’ll be able to take over Syria. Where are Obamas’ advisers? Are all the military advisers in the US that dumb? Haven’t they learned from past experiences? What did half-assed military strikes against Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Mali, Libya and Somalia achieve? A failed state for Al-Qaeda to easily take over and an influx of innocent refugees that the US and the European Union refuse to take and leave to starve in the desert.
Oh I have no doubt that this attack was orchestrated by the Jihadists. Those people live to achieve only one thing, martyrdom. And they would do absolutely anything to achieve that.
“sacrifice” according to them, extends beyond the fighters themselves and includes anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the middle of their struggle.
When asked about the indiscriminate innocent victims of their suicide bombings or shelling, your typical Islamist will generally shrug and say, “If they were true Muslims, they are now in heaven,” as if they’re performing an actual favor for the victims. And from that thought, I have no doubt that the attack was by a Jihadist group.
However this attack is draconian, please anyone tell me who killed 85 children in Hawla in Homs ?? or who rapped women and girls in front of their parents in Homs , in Baba Amro , or Karm El Zeyton ??? who shelled Scud missiles against Aleppo and Idlib and other cities , and killed thousands of innocent people in Damascus ????
Why is the International community concentrating on the “Chemical” and not the massacre itself? People are dying in hundreds every day. Those who commit those massacres need to be stopped, west is not waiting the result of chemical attack, because they know who did it, but they are looking for an excuse to kill us, why?
Aren’t we human, Haven’t we human eyes? Haven’t we human hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as any Human is? If you shell us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
The people in Syria, in one mouth, saying to you:”hands off Syria” in what world does bombing a country, on the pretext of bringing peace make sense? We have seen what had happened in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, they have more and more terrorists, more explosions, more killing of civilians, ongoing tragedies are obvious, it is the result of America’s wars, Foreign military intervention in Syria is unacceptable, If you did, we all will become soldiers to defend our country, the bloodshed will not solve any problem, soon our army will declare victory against Western-backed terrorists, if you want to help us, just take off your terrorists, try to educate them, help them to behave as human beings, and withdraw from Middle East, otherwise wars will go forever.
At last I say as Noam Chmsky said “The number of people killed by the sanctions in Iraq is greater than the total number of people killed by all weapons of mass destruction in all of history.” So who is the terrorist?
