As the Syrian crisis enters its 16th month, the recent massacres in Houla and Hama have revived calls for foreign intervention and the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad. US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has recently hinted that the United States would soon take action outside of the Annan plan and the authority of the United Nations if the persistent violence in Syria continued unabated. While the Syrian opposition severs its commitment to uphold Kofi Annan's peace plan and openly calls for a UN- no-fly zone to replace the monitoring mission, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced a new transition plan that would remove Assad from power completely. As outside forces plan a post-Assad transition strategy, the people of Syria are fast approaching a historic crossroads, of which may lead to a broader sectarian conflict that would forever reshape the Middle East.
Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization weighs in on the insurrectionary nature of the Syrian conflict and its potential to generate a larger regional conflict in the Middle East.

The World for People who Think
Comment: Everyone who still believes the propaganda of Western and Israeli media is believing in bloody lies. It is like we live in Nazi Germany and a lot of people actually believe the propaganda of the Nazis. History is repeating again, and it will continue to do so, over and over again, as long as people do not wake up to the fact that Psychopaths Rule the World. Deep knowledge of this topic, by a lot of people, is the only way we can stop this bloody nonsense and destruction!
