It's amazingly brave this days to publicly expose US blunt imposition of its imperial objectives over seriously outgunned countries. Specially when it's so clear and undeniable as it is in this case. I really hope every American could read and fully understand the deep implications of this statement because it is true: perfectly peaceful nations all over the world can be singled-out by the US Government as anti-freedom, dangerous or plain terrorist to validate outrageous attacks to crush them into surrender, forcing less-than-democratic rulers into power and starting up cruel regimes that allow the American interest to prosper in the region against the well being of the local population.

This war isn't new: Since the imposition of the Israeli Nation over the Palestinians, Western interests linger over the entire region disguis...ed as righteous moral duties. History shows us the facts: First US was against Iran, then helped it against Irak, has always provided for Israel against the Muslim world and went all the way into blowing it's own Twin Towers to keep the war machine running, but not even that awoke its citizens.

In the Middle-East, it's all about oil and gas, water in the region and, ultimately, it is also about an unbelievable sense of right Americans cast all over the world and over themselves. That is the way of the Empire: the rich and powerful setting the rules over the inferior. But last world-wide empire lasted a couple of centuries. Today, China remains dormant, India refuses to yield, even North Corea has a fist in the air. This one is no different than any other historic empire except for the weapons at hand and we can only hope the planet will endure its childish ways.

Only time will tell. One day, against all its fear and willpower, the US will be nothing but an entry in history records and all that will remain will be the cold numbers: since the demise of the Native Americans, the preposterous amount of blood that fed the tyranny of what came to be the Democratic empire. Syria will then be nothing but cruel statistics, just as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Nicaragua, Cuba, Vietnam and the many more that followed. People from the future will ask themselves in horror: "How come they all allowed it?"

Internet links us all together and lets us ask a global question: seeing that no government is good enough, and no race nor society nowadays is perfect, or has ever been in the history of mankind, does this means we're trapped into the Imperial circle until one day the last of all the empires will find the perfect weapon to blow humanity into oblivion? Are we that unable to shed off the fear, the rage, the selfishness, that all that will remain of us will be layer over layer of endless war? Are we that incapable of peace?
