The West needs to mind it's own business and keep out of this and leave the Arabs to sort this problem out.
The West is pressing especially the USA for increasing sanctions. Let's be clear about why. The uprising has not much support and is mainly Islamist areas like Homs and Deraa and Hama and the West would like to have a bigger contribution from Alebbo and Damascus and Latakia to the opposition so increasing sanctions on the Syria is an attempt to get the middle class and businessmen to join the uprising. I don't think anyone doubts this but is is good to repeat why certain things are happening. Assad has huge support. The West are trying desperately to break that support and to hit the middle and business class. To increase the islamists protests. Another interesting development today is that Syria called for a summit and the AL said they would if they had 15 majority. I said this was a good step and hoped they would but should have known better. The Gulf states are not interested. Not unexpected from the Gulf but sad all the same. Every chance should have been taken. Shame on them.
Shame on the west for pressuring a regime which funds and arms various Islamic terror groups. /end pro jihad hippie rant
Reports reveal that the US and Israel have hired Saudi elements and the Saudi-backed Lebanese March 14 forces in order to foment tension in the country, thereby creating a rift between the Syrian people and the government. Washington is monitoring every move with minute precision as the fate of Syria is politically of paramount importance to the empire as it serves as an ally for Iran and poses a danger to the Zionist regime. Indeed there are some parties which follow their interests in the country. Apart from Washington who cherishes the idea of overthrowing the regime of Bashar al-Assad and installing a puppet regime in Syria with the firm intention of serving the interests of the Zionist regime in the region, the Saudi Wahhabis insist on the collapse of the Syrian regime. For Washington and Israel, the ouster of al-Assad will ensure the two regimes' vantage point in the Middle East to contain the ever-increasing influence of the Islamic Republic in the region and for the Saudis, it serves a similar purpose on a wider scope. In fact, the Saudi Wahhabis hold the Shia Muslims in abhorrence and make every possible effort to create Shiaphobia and Iranophobia in the world. To the Wahhabis, Shia Muslims and moderate Sunnis are but infidels and should be killed and their blood is not upon their shoulders. What they conceive of the Shia Muslims is indeed a horrid image which fails to fit into any plausibly logical order. This irrational hatred becomes the prime motivation for the Wahhabis to engage in stoking up unrest in some border cities in Syria which throws full support behind Iran and Hezbollah. In a similar vein, the Saudi Wahhabis fully backed the dictatorial Bahrain regime in eliminating the Shia Muslims and crushing with brutality the popular uprising in the country. This double standard in Saudi policy deserves due attention. They back the despotic Bahraini regime which spares no efforts in quelling the pro-democracy protesters who are killed on a daily basis while on the other hand, they fund and back the insurgents in Syria to overthrow the regime. It seems that democracy is defined differently in different contexts and situations. Parenthetically, the Saudi Wahhabis play a double game in their relations with Washington and Israel. In fact, they have an ambivalent feeling for these two. On the one hand, Wahhabis treat them with hatred and eliminate their elements under the influence of their extremism and on the other hand, they enter into easy alliance with the Zionists and the US when the trio have a common enemy in several regions of the world. There are times when you marvel at how events happening in one place are twisted to the benefit of one group and to the loss of another. Concerning the US interference and the conspiracy of the Saudi Wahhabis in Syria, either we should choose to remain ignorant or we should open our eyes to the reality of things with surmountable doubt and reluctance
