I simply do not buy the excuses by America and the West let lone some Middle East countries for non –intervention in Syria.

Terrorism is terrorism and it cannot be defined otherwise unless the interests of one party tilt the scale in disfavor of another and the dichotomization of the terrorists in Syria into good and bad by the West casts doubt on its claim on democracy.

Well, it looks like Obama is going to attack Syria with at most token opposition by the national antiwar organizations, as was the case when he "phoned in" the order to bomb the crap out of Libya back on March 19, 2011.

"Oh, really? Well then Mr. President, you and NATO should start by arresting those US, British, and Israeli officials who okayed and used WMDs against civilians in Iraq, Lebanon, and Gaza. Remember the white phosphorous in Fallujah?

MENAFN - Arab News) The Russian and Iranian intelligence agencies have failed in identifying the body/group behind the bomb blast that hit the headquarters of the Syrian national security.

The Western media has been playing a major role in the distortion of facts and the peddling of outright lies about the Syrian 'civil war'.

We have one thing in our news every day now, secret plans Israel leaks about their upcoming “shock and awe” attack on Iran.
