مسئله بر سر نوسازی سیاسی دولت سکولار سوریه و شهروندان آن نیست. مسئله بر سرسلطه و تصرف، بر سر کنترل تاریخ سوریه و بر سر ثروت آن کشور است

نبرد بر سر حلب حادثه تازه ای نیست. این شهر در تاریخ ۵۰۰۰ ساله خود "آمد و رفتِ" فاتحین زیادی را شاهد بوده است. نابودی دگر بار این شهردر دوران کنونی نشان از فروکش نکردن بخل و چشم داشتِ بیگانگان دارد: چشم داشت به ثروتِ حلب و کوشاییِ مردمان آن از بین نرفته است.

"The provocations by Russia need to be met with American strength. ... The United States of America should be prepared to use military force, to strike military targets of Bashar Assad regime."
John McCain went further:
"The U.S. ... must issue an ultimatum to Mr. Assad — stop flying or lose your aircraft ... If Russia continues its indiscriminate bombing, we should make clear that we will take steps to hold its aircraft at greater risk."
Yet one gets the impression this is bluster and bluff.

By Mike Whitney

“Last Wednesday, at a Deputies Committee meeting at the White House, officials from the State Department, the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff discussed limited military strikes against the (Assad) regime … One proposed way to get around the White House’s long-standing objection to striking the Assad regime without a U.N. Security Council resolution would be to carry out the strikes covertly and without public acknowledgment.”
