Syria: The Last Domino To Fall

I can't find out who said it first, but in hundreds of blogs all over the internet comes the phrase:  "The road to Tehran runs through Damascus".  This has become clear in the light of the recent Russia and China veto of a United Nations Security Council resolution against Syria for the second time in four months.  In view of this, it appears NATO and The Arab League are looking for "a workaround" to topple the Assad government and that could be morphing from a peaceful call for democratic change into a violent armed insurgency.

According to the Associated Press Sunday, February 12, 2012, the 22-nation Arab League called for the U.N. Security Council to create a joint "peacekeeping force" for Syria, but Damascus rejected it immediately.  So what is behind all this?

This becomes apparent as the age-old oligarchies of Europe and North America continue to lay the groundwork for global dominance over the oil-rich nations of the Middle East.  The "peacekeeping" force tends always to turn into an "occupation force"  The NATO warfare states and the Arab League are now engrossed in perfecting the Orwellian truth that “continual war is continual peace”. 

With the battle for Libya behind them, the West with its NATO allies are undoubtedly filled with hubris and joy that an age-old formula is working again.  That formula is of course is "Conquest Under Humanitarian Cover"

The old "problem-reaction-solution" script is replayed:  Most people can remember the failed CIA coup attempt against Hugo Chavez where CIA-sponsored groups fired live ammo into protesters, fomenting violence and instability within their target country.  This was followed by the immediate arming and financing of dissident groups, and directing these same groups with the help of covert special forces, thus creating "the problem".  The reaction follows when government forces move in to quell the insurrection, then comes orchestrated media propaganda blitz accusing the government of violating human rights.  The solution is always the "peacekeepers" who come in to pick up the spoils. 

The Syrian offensive attempts a replay of the Libyan takeover.  First The Arab League suspends the offending country, lending legitimacy to its declaration thus labeling Syria as an international menace, which in turn provides a pretext for the noble U.S. and NATO  to mount military strikes, committing atrocities in the name of their R2P “responsibility to protect”, and engineering a regime change in the interests of the West. This neocolonialism worked in Kosovo and it will work in Syria with the help of other Arab states including the Arab League. 

The ancient Romans used the adage of:  "Get a dog to eat a dog."  Arabs fighting Arabs.  Arabs battling among themselves and "When the hurley burley's done, when the battle's lost and won...", as Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth, then the softened target is ripe for the NATO empire to pick up the spoils.  Here the prize is control of the oil-rich Arab lands.  The empire may then set up a Sarkozy-style puppet government, lending legitimacy and then with a compliant media cooperating, the world is happy to regain peace while the empire walks away with the prize.   

What could go wrong?   Plenty as we'll soon see in Part Two - Coming soon.
