It's long been obvious the United Nations is a rubber stamp lapdog of the United States. It set the stage for a decade of sanctions that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and piled sanctions on Libya that resulted in the US and NATO (another lapdog) taking military action that killed around 30,000 Libyans.
Now that supposedly august body has signaled
it will investigate war crimes in Syria.The
Associated Press reports the "resolution adopted by the assembly said the body, known as the
'International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism,' would help collect and analyze evidence of violations of human rights and international humanitarian law
'to facilitate and expedite fair and independent criminal proceedings.'"There is nothing fair and independent about it. If it were truly fair, the top human rights violator, the United States government and its Pentagon, would be at the top of the UN's to-do list.
The US is responsible for the "civil war" in Syria. It has agitated for "regime change" since at least 2005 under the guise of "democracy promotion," well before the CIA sent operatives -
many were "rebels" that participated in the US-NATO Libyan massacre - into the city of Deraa to stir up trouble.
"The staged uprising in Deraa had some locals in the street who were unaware of their participation in a CIA-Hollywood production," writes Steven Sahiounie. "They were the unpaid extras in the scene about to be shot. These unaware extras had grievances, perhaps lasting a generation or more, and perhaps rooted in Wahhabism, which is a political ideology exported globally by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Royal family and their paid officials."
