Perhaps, without even going too deep into politics, it would be nice to mention that, aside from certain biased news outlets, many journalists have reported that the war in Syria is more a case of foreign military invasion than a civil war. For example, in one of his articles Thierry Meyssan, a French journalist and political activist, wrote recently that the war in Syria is a war between the government and a religiously-defined opposition organized around foreign combatants who claim they are fighting for Al-Qaeda. The war in Syria is not being fought for democracy.

The use of chemical weapons on August 21, 2013 was most evidently carried out as a false-flag operation by the armed opposition in order to provoke an international crisis and military intervention against the Syrian government. It is noteworthy that the authenticity of the pictures of the chemical attacks’ victims has not been verified so far and it seems that nobody cares to do that or to identify those victims, most of whom are children, instead using those pictures with sole purpose to justify claims of the chemical weapons use in Syria.

On the other hand, there is no officially recognized proven and verifiable conclusion as to who did use those chemical weapons in Syria and who those victims are. Neither the UN Security Council, nor the US CIA, has provided any evidence that the chemical attack was carried out by the Syrian Arab Army troops. There are certain pieces of evidence that those chemical attacks were perpetrated by the Islamist militants, though. The Russian intelligence office did provide the UN experts with information indicating that the opposition militants, fighting in the suburbs of Damascus, had carried out those chemical attacks.

For some reason no one in the media brings up those facts or considers the circumstances that surround the allegations of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian army. It is inconvenient to the Barack Obama administration to admit that they support, and are continuing to supply sophisticated weapons to, the Islamists fighters, who had had carried out that terrorist act using the chemical weapons, supplied by one of the NATO member-states. In the meantime, the same Islamist terrorists are preparing a similar chemical weapons strike against Israel. These facts have since been confirmed by a jihadist who had been taken prisoner by the Syrian army. He revealed that he had accompanied thirteen missiles from a Turkish army base to Damascus, and that only a few of those missiles had been used. There are therefore others still waiting to be fired and, given the impunity that the Islamist combatants have enjoyed so far, should they deem it necessary, the chemical weapons might be used again by the jihadists.

The systematic use of force by the United States, including for allegedly humanitarian purposes, creates a general climate of insecurity. The threat posed by the US is arbitrary and is not regulated by the international law. Since they can no longer depend on the law to defend them, an increasing number of states are planning to acquire atomic weapons, and this will only reinforce insecurity in a sort of vicious circle.

The power of the US to arbitrarily use force against foreign nations automatically increases insecurity the world over. The support given to the foreign jihadists in Syria by Western powers increases insecurity not only in the Middle East and other parts of the world, but also in the West itself. Those US-backed terrorists will end up coming home and the same Islamist jihadists, which are being recruited in the streets of London and Paris and go to fight fanatical wars in the Middle East today, tomorrow will return to engage in conflicts in North America and Europe.

Putting aside the fraudulent populist assumption that the United States of America is some sort of a self-proclaimed vigilante in the world politics, it is important to stress that being the only hyper-power, above and beyond the Security Council and international law, is in itself a source of conflict that no human being can accept.
