Their Moral Predicament

Condemnation and denunciation by some countries and international organizations towards  the terrorist massacre perpetrated recently against the Syrian people are not enough. What we need is practical, clear and decisive positions taken by major countries and international organizations  and all those who claim the war on terrorism and the need to confront it, drying up its sources, hit its patrons and sponsors.

Terrorism is an incurable disease and needs to be uprooted because it spreads rapidly and becomes out of control. This means that if terrorism is not treated in its ambush, it will burn everything.  

The West, which is talking about the threat of terrorism on its countries and feared its moving from Syria lies in a moral crisis. The west  does not see its devastated risks on the  Syrians, but it fears the moving of terrorism to it and therein lies the European racism, lack of the human and the moral dimension in the approach of Western countries towards the Syrian crisis and discretionary and opportunism in dealing with the issue of terrorism.

The indifference to the West, including massacres, killings and bloodshed in Syria and not taking serious positions that push the political process through actual pressure on the opposition parties makes of the West’s countries a partner and an active instigator in the ongoing crime committed against the Syrians. When the Syrian government agreed to unconditional dialogue with all opposition parties and presented a vision to contribute to resolve the crisis based on the priority of stopping the violence and re-displaced and alleviate the suffering of the Syrians a priority for all citizens, we found more opposition parties, especially the armed one, backed by Western, jump over it and put power and governance a priority in their accounts uncaring of the sufferings of the Syrians, proving for all that the opposition is inhabited with the obsession of power and governance and its political identity which represents the priorities of foreign forces supporting it because their accounts, strategies and agendas based on interest and of political content and pours in the context of international conflict in the region.

The Syrian crisis revealed a lot of lies and deceptive addresses that some powers, regional and international organizations launched in order to cover the ambitions and interests such as fighting terrorism, respect for the principle of national sovereignty and economic partnership, international responsibility, human rights and to ensure co-existence and harmony among different religions and cultures, to ensure international peace and security. When these sublime terms object and collide with the strategies and interests of the hegemonic powers and arrogance, the proof appears to everyone that the glow of interests is much stronger than principles and ideas.
