To the Good People of Syria…

To the good people of Syria, whom we’ve no cause to hate; and to the good people of the entire world, whom we’ve no cause to hate:

We, American Reactionaries, stand united in offering our heartfelt apologies for the profoundly misguided actions of our government, which have served only to destabilize others around the world, and get lots of innocent people killed.

Since, WWII, the United States, having taken the banner from her mother Great Britain, has interfered in the natural development of your nations for a variety of reasons. Until 1990, the ostensible reason was to combat the spread of soviet influence. Apart from her much publicized military failures to prevent such a spread, America’s lower profile diplomatic failures to do so were far more commonly the rule of the day.

Since the collapse of Soviet empire, largely under its own weight, and America’s emergence as the world’s only “Superpower”, her ostensible reasons for maintaining global hegemony have only grown more mercurial and less principled. When America’s leaders are not waging an undefinable and uncircumscribable “War on Terror”, they find increasingly specious rationalizations for destabilizing states throughout the world.

I heard today that the Obama administration plans to send military aid to rebel forces in Syria, and is talking about setting up a no-fly zone on their behalf. What FDR could only do under the cloak of absolute secrecy and plausible deniability, Obama can do in the light of day, with the full blessings of the US Journalism Industrial Complex. America has come a long way, Baby!

Apparently the Syrian Civil War has not gone on long enough. The US government fears that the fight may become lopsided. And you know Americans are always suckers for an underdog. So to balance things out, we’ll send the rebels some stuff, just to make it a “fair fight”. And the war will go on… and on… just so a few evangelical progressives can feel good about themselves. America has no plausible side, and no plausible interest, in this War.

Wars happen, always, only, and everywhere, because the outcome of conflict is uncertain. Sadly, the very presence of the US State Department, as sole global hegemon, implementing its wishes principally under its wholly-owned subsidiary The International Community, has made the outcome of most conflicts in the world a lot less certain. But let it be known that the US State Department, in whatever evil it plans today or in the future, is operating without the consent of large fraction of those it governs, and certainly not that of American Reactionaries.

Today, we are all Alawites.
