It seems
that after having failed in mulling support from other countries, except Saudi Arabia
for attack on Syria the United States is intends to undertake the assault at
its own, even contrary to the wishes of US citizens.
The major
setback came when British Parliament rejected the move and other countries also
followed its footprints. The decision of the Britain parliament should have
been an eye opener for the sole surviving super power.
It is feared
that any direct involvement of United States can plunge many countries in a
zero sum game that has became the hallmark of the US foreign and military
policies. At present US soldiers wearing combat uniform are present in
Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and their sole purpose seems to be killing the
locals rather than maintain peace.
Ironically,
the US Congress has hardly asked its President and his advisers why do they
wish to bring regime change, topple governments and worst of all keep on
supplying arms to the rebels in various countries.
The US
administration hasn’t learn any lesson even after the killing of its
ambassadors/diplomats, the most recent being in Libya and earlier in the
blowing up of aircraft of Pakistan’s President Ziaul Haq.
A closer
look at the ongoing proxy US war in Syria, clearly establishes that despite supplying
millions of dollars and tons or lethal weapons to the rebels President Assad
has remained in power.
Over the
last two years nearly one hundred thousand Syrians have been killed and the
entire country has become a heap of debris.
It is feared
that the rebels supported by the US have used gas with an ultimate objective of
maligning Assad’s regime. This perception seems to carry weight if one looks at
whatever has happened in the recent in Egypt.
The United
States followed it often repeated mantra of declaring Hosni Mubarak, a failed
and corrupt ruler, only after after he became redundant.
Elections
were held and public verdict came contrary to the US expectations, it was never
thought that Muslim Brotherhood could win the election.
First
attempts were made to keep Morsi under pressure but ultimately Egyptian Army
Chief was asked to topple and arrest the elected president. When public came out
on streets army was advised by the US to open fire and now army chief is being
used as scapegoat.
It has been
highlighted repeatedly that a proxy war is being fought in Syria, where most of
the countries aspiring to be the regional or world super powers are supporting
Syria, only because they want to inflict defeat on the United States, the sole
surviving super power.
Ironically,
the US is losing its patience because it considered Assad another Saddam. It
may not be wrong to say that since Saddam killed hundreds and thousands of
Iraqis, he had lost public support, as against that Assad continues to enjoy
support of Syrians.
One needs to
find reply to a question, why the US is adamant at destroying Syria?
The reply is
simple without destroying Syria the United States can’t get the entire region
under its claws. The involvement of Russia, China, some GCC countries, Iran and
Lebanon has made it difficult for the US to get a walkover.
Not only that
the US is getting desperate its also completely ignoring the possible fallout
of attack on Syria.
Even a small mistake can destroy peace of the region and
also affect countries that have been supporting terrorism around the globe, in
the name of Jihad.
