As Secretary Clinton whines about the negative reaction the Syrian populace
Report thisdemonstrated for our interference in their domestic problems, the underlying goal
of Syrian regime change moves forward. In the “zero sum game” we are playing
with Iran, our policy of maintaining our control over the Mideast hides under
selective support for democracy. Unsure of what will transpire in Egypt and
Yemen, the Washington wonks have jumped at the rebellion in Syria as some sort
of attack upon Iran. Wether or not a majority of the Syrians want a regime change,
we have taken sides in an internal conflict. Scrambling to get our friends in
Baghdad to “permit” us to keep an army in Iraq and our always close to winning
and never ending war in Afghanistan, the directors of our Mideast policy now see
Syria as a “plum” to be picked. What Clinton et al continue to fail to understand is
that we are the invaders, the occupiers in the Middle East.
