The Syrian Arab Republic has never been an aggressor against anybody. Syria is a peace-seeker country, which has every legitimate right to defend itself, as many countries worldwide, against al-Qadea affiliates from more than 80 countries.
Since the outbreak of current plagued crisis, Syria bases its policies on two main pillars, namely to combat terrorism, unfortunately backed by many Arab, Western countries, not to exclude the neighbors, as well on the pillar of seeking dialogue and political solution, not only to the crisis but to all of the region chronic crises.
Fighting terrorism is an international interest; hence the terrorists fighting the Syrians today would definitely fight and slaughter others tomorrow, particularly in the vicinity as well as in Europe and the USA. Thus, the need is dire more than ever for a united common front by all as to eradicate the scorpion of terrorism. Such a fight would be in the interest of every humanity, instead of the ongoing threats to launch strikes against the same people who are the victims of terrorism by merciless brutal takfiris who are not only cannibals but who use even chemicals against the Syrians.
Syria has indeed challenged those who accuse it of using chemicals to ”present a shred of legitimate evidence, which they have not been able to do.” Given the fact that those who smuggled the chemicals to the terrorists, who perhaps didn’t know at times to use them, as the recent AP Gavlak’s report mentioned, those threats and false accusations should be halted as to give peace in the region a chance. The aim behind such threats seems to be related to the destruction of a peace-loving country, with all of its heritage, Army, people. Secularity and civilization.
Where are the proofs that the chemicals were used by Syrian Gov. and not by the terrorists who do possess, according to substantiated proofs, stockpiles of chemicals, some of which were used against Syrian Army soldiers in many locations. And H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad questioned in his recent Le Figaro interview: “How is it conceivable then that an army making significant advancements on the ground through conventional armament would resort to using weapons of mass destruction? if the army had such weapons and decided to use them, is it conceivable that it would use them in areas where its own troops are deployed? Where is the logic in that? Additionally is it really plausible that the use of these weapons in a heavily populated area in the suburbs of the capital did not kill tens of thousands; these substances travel in the air.”
“What have previous wars achieved for America, or even for Europe? What has the world achieved from the war in Libya and the spread of terrorism in its aftermath? What has the world achieved from the wars in Iraq and other places? What will the world achieve from supporting terrorism in Syria?” I think that the time is ripe now for a wise reconsideration and evaluation as end supporting terrorists and reinvigorate Mideast peace efforts as to spare the more of innocents’ life; it is a win-win solution and for all.
