All Is Quiet On the Syrian Front

Edited By: Abulhaq

Dear ****** Few days ago, you expressed it how optimistic you were feeling in case the Arab League observers arrive at Syria to carry out the Arab Leagues plans, prior to a pending American intervention there. You foresaw signs for an end to the Syrian citizens suffering, those who do not belong to the corrupted Asad regime and the Alawite dynasty ruling over Syria . I did find an excuse for you at that moment , being an outsider to this very region. An Arab saying goes this way " Meccans Are The Best When Negotiating Mecca's Routes", and of course it applies both ways for us with issues that are domestic to you. Somehow, I find you unaware of what is the Arab League fir real. The Arab League is just like the United Nations, a with / without institution , one with plenty of privilege jobs ,for a few bureaucratic and opportunistic persons , and one without anything to offer for the world, that is burning outside their offices gates Dear American citizen, you who started as a Puerto Rican fellow, and ended as a citizen of the world , you who view Malcolm X and Martin Luther King as two great paragons of mind liberalism and American revolution, you who used to applaud the Iraqi anti aircraft shots, hitting your own air force jet fighters, as they ended up seeking safe landing in Incirlik air base during 1990 war , despite the tremendous difference between both armies in technology matters and military dominancy . It takes more than a man for someone to adopt such a belief , to stand in the face of wrongdoing ,although that wrongdoing is wrapped up with stars and stripes, so that he be joining the club of the righteous ones accordingly. It takes more than what an Arab citizen can imagine to rise above his patriotic belonging, when he sees it bringing him down to the gutters of doing others wrong. It takes more than a man and more than philosophers wisdom, for a man to realize that what looks like a descent patriotic conduct is nothing but sharing the criminals ruling above, in their crimes against others. These days, we are striving to do something like this. We are detaching ourselves from a gang that had taken over Syria, while some people mistake them for relatives of us, somehow. We are kicking all ties that seem to unite them with us, no matter how much their supporters in Teheran have been trying to justify their crimes, to help them win it over their own people. We miss people like you amidst this plight of the Arab countries, we are in need of an intellectual awakening, and of a position that lend not itself to any self interest, nor should it hide under an umbrella of hypocrisy and cheap romancing. And as for the Arab observers that you spoke of lately, I don't take them for anything more than roaming the streets of Syrian towns as if more tourists who are interested in shopping from Alhameediya, and other markets too, as well as that apricot wraps and dried fruits of Syrian brands, to offer it for their families upon returning back home, with more reports to offer for their headquarter, reports that are titled in the same manner of Erich Maria Remark, " All Is Quiet On The Western Front ", where the title is very much irrelevant of those WWI scenes, for it was just the shape of those daily

reports that the fighting regiments used to issue and post, to acknowledge their headquarters that everything is alright, overlooking tens and hundreds of soldiers dying in the fiercest manners ,all in silence as daily casualties of war , not to be remembered or acknowledged for their sacrifices. So, all will be seemingly quiet on the Syrian front, and let God have mercy on thousands of Syrian citizens who get killed everyday in total silence, and let God be there for their families and fellows, and every one that cares for them, of real Muslims who are mandated to feel this way towards any Muslim fellow . I am talking about victims of Bashar Alasad, of Syrian citizens who insist on getting their chance of waking up one day ,to a morning that does not sees the faces of Alasad's criminals roaming the street and intersections, and monopolizing the TV scenes for the thousand year of their short lives. My dear friend, I think that your government ought to amend its historical mistake of invading Iraq. Your government should intervene in Syria this time, once again, to topple this pathetic regime that had us (and his people too) sickened of life , through its disastrous interventions and plots in Iraq and Lebanon. Once you topple this regime, its shadows will fall down accordingly, whether in southern Lebanon or here in Iraq, actually it will lead to cutting all those Persian octopus arms off. It could help Arab countries and peoples to turn a page with the western world , and start a new era, where every nation is very much aware of what it really acquires, where every nation knows it well ,what it does lack and miss, and what it can provide for others, without any sick and arrogant propaganda statements, because the world is already made in a way that every nation be needing other nations , and every nation has its own role according to what is available to it, of expertise, resources and scientific advances, as well as devoted hearts and minds to rule and lead the country. Neither my country, nor its neighboring countries could ever afford to acquire all that is needed for a better agriculture, industry, mining, science and arts . It is never there in one country. Actually I am talking about a new order that is taking shape in this region that had been hit with this plight of having all those corrupted rulers, whether Arabs or Iranians, all in one place and for all those decades or centuries passed. Their reigns caused their people a massive mental mayhem, with those regimes always hiding behind the Israeli threat, to cover for a greater threat of their own , along with a bunch of relatives and followers. It is the golden chance for both of us, hoping to start a new march way off from what G. W. Bush and his criminal gang had committed here in Iraq & Afghanistan, leaving the real perpetrators making use of his villain and reckless atrocities .
