Will Obama, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, find the allies he seeks to make war, or will the United States push the button on its own in order to 'punish' Assad?

It is possible that by the time these lines are read the missiles will have already started falling on Syria in an interventionist war — with the United States at the forefront, as always — to “punish” Syrian president Bashar Assad for having ordered, according to the invaders’ intelligence reports, the use of chemical weapons against his own people.

The world realizes that the United States has historically justified interventions by inventing excuses. Typical false flag operations — hence the reticence of the British, French and even the American leaders themselves to embark on an armed confrontation. On Monday, Assad warned during an interview with Le Figaro that the Middle East is a powder keg to which a fire is getting closer. He claims that a military intervention will unleash a regional war.

The Syrian president is correct. The borders in that zone are a hotbed. Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Israel are highly explosive. Russia and China also have a lot to say in this complex geopolitical board, where the military industry of the powers of any political or ideological color rub their hands together, anticipating the highest profit without a care that dozens, hundreds or thousands of civilians are destroyed by rockets launched from gigantic warships cruising in the Mediterranean and from the air raids deployed by leaders who believe they have the right to “punish” at their pleasure whoever dares to defy them.

There are other Arab countries, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which, according to the foreign press, have financed the war that the Syrian rebels and mercenaries have carried out for the past two years in an attempt to overthrow Assad. In the background, the differences between the Sunnis and the Shiites could have played a role in the theater of operations. The Arab nations that support the war against the Syrian president are of the Sunni majority, or at least their monarchs belong to that branch of Islam. The family of Bashar Assad is Alawite, identified with Shiites.
