It is the old story of the boy who cried wolf. Bush and Blair deliberately lied about WMDs in Iraq to have an excuse for attacking Saddam. It was pure personal vengeance that motivated Bush and Blair tried to legitimise the illegal war with the support of the UK government. The result was sectarian division leading to permanent destabilisation of Iraq, death of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and a dangerously powerful Iran. Recently UK, France and the US obtained a divided UN Security Council resolution backing a " no-fly zone " over Libya to " protect civilians." Many countries supported the motion following the Arab League which believed, naively as it turns out, that only Gaddafi's air force would be taken out and there would not be any attempt at regime change. The liars had other ideas. They have used the vague language about protection of civilians to help armed rebels, bomb government soldiers and even bomb Gaddafi's residence. Propaganda channels like the BBC and CNN continue to show children alleged to have been injured by Gaddafi's soldiers. It could even be that a lot of the injuries are because of rebel shelling or allied bombing. The reporting is totally one sided and biased. Now the US wants sanctions against Syria for the killing of civilians protesting against the regime but other countries are not listening any more. The tragedy is that Syria will kill many more than Gaddafi would have. Syria has learnt from its friend, Iran how to suppress any dissent with devastating force but most countries will be suspicious of any US moves to impose any form of punitive action against Syria. Lies lead to impotence.
