[Nettime-nl] Syria: "There Are No Humanitarian Weapons" the lie of the red-line

There Are No Humanitarian Weapons - biggest lie of these days "THE GRADING OF KILLING METHODS IN SYRIA" as if Chemical Weapons are worse than Conventional Weapons

Pondering for days how to expose THE BIGGEST LIE OF THESE DAYS "THE GRADING OF KILLING METHODS IN SYRIA" as if death by the dagger, sword, machete, pistol, riffle, mortar, land mine, machine gun, cannon, missile, aerial bombing, napalm, arson, dynamite, nitro glycerine, and hundreds of other explosives, electronic shocks and nuclear explosion, are any better.

IS THERE ANYTHING MORE INHUMAN ABOUT CHEMICAL KILLINGS THAN ABOUT HIGH VELOCITY PIECES OF METAL AND EXPLOSIVES DIRECTED AT HUMANS AND HUMAN HABITAT, ANIMALS AND NATURE?

HOW BRAINWASHED IS EVERYBODY that many start to doubt if they should support an intervention of the Americans and their Allies in Syria. How brainwashed they must be when using the big number of violent death (just over 100.000) in Syria from the UN Human Right Research WITHOUT TAKING IN ACCOUNT WHO HAS BEEN KILLING WHO, how many of these killings were the result of all kind of inner strives and crimes equally repulsive as committed by the governmental troops of Bashir Al-Assad. How naive to think that after the launching of missiles on Assad regime targets, civil war and terrorism will end in Syria.

The most massive use of chemical warfare in the narrow sense was last century in a war between Iran and Iraq that lasted 8 years and took over one million victims, of which tens of thousands died because of the use of chemical warfare methods, mainly against soldiers, but also in some cases against civilians, mainly in Iran, but also in Iraq itself, whereby also Iran attempted to use chemical warfare agents. The Iran Iraq War of the eighties last century did not trigger any call of 'intervention' and hardly any protest in the world.

Because napalm agent orange and depleted uranium weapons, and several kinds of so called nerve gasses for crowd control do fall outside of the international acclaimed definition of 'chemical warfare', the Western democracies think they can proudly pose as humanitarian warriors. Less forget the massive use of these human killing substances and devices in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Algerian War, Madagascar, the Gulf War, the Iraq War... by all those humanitarian generals of the USA and its allies.

Let alone that we recall all the devilish plans that have been prepared, but not executed, or only partly, of devastating large agricultural zones, of breaking irrigation dams, of bombing hydro-electrical dams, drowning thousands, triggering famines, ill health and massive death of illnesses like TB and Cholera, from Korea to Indochina.

Miles of historical, juridical, medical and military books and reports can be dragged in to support this kind of argumentation, to rip away the blindfold of public opinion as it is daily put in position and fastened by the major media.

THE ONLY HUMANITARIAN POSITION TO TAKE IS REFUTE ALL WARMONGERS, EVEN THE SMALL ONE WITHIN YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU DID NOT WORK HARD ENOUGH TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN HALF TRUTH AND FULL LIES.
