The moral imperative.

Politicians are consummate liars, able to justify extremely wicked acts by attaching high sounding labels to them. Just as the Congress in India uses " inclusive growth " to rob taxpayer money to bribe voters so the US uses the phrase " moral imperative " to test new weapon systems on Asians, slaughtering millions in the process. The latest victim of this " moral imperative " is Syria where the government stands accused of using chemical weapons on 21 August on the rebel held suburbs of Damascus. We have been saying for a long time that the one country which has committed more genocides and crimes against humanity, than all the other countries in the world put together, is the US. At last Brahma Chellany, Professor at the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi has written a scholarly article providing support for what we have been saying. The UN published a report yesterday which established that sarin was found in blood and tissue samples taken from victims and from remnants of missiles found at the scene. While the US, UK and France see it as a proof of the culpability of the regime Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov has slammed attempts to " retouch " the report and the Syria's UN envoy, Bashar Jaafari said that his government will not accept a " politicised " report. The UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon was born in Korea on 13 June 1944 and would have been 6 years old when the Korean war started on 25 June 1950 and 9 years old when it finished on 27 July 1953. Surely he has memories of Americans burning his own people with napalm and would be aware of the use of white phosphorus on Fallujah in Iraq in 2004. He is immensely qualified to speak out against the hypocrisy of the US " moral imperative " if he has the " moral courage " to do so. As for India, the Congress which is in power should remember that although we have always supported the Palestinian cause the Arabs have consistently supported Pakistan with money and arms. During Nehru's time the Indian passport did not allow travel to Israel. Even today Gulf countries, who are supporting the rebels, are the main financiers of terrorism in India. Chief of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri encourages Jihad in Kashmir. If it is wrong for Syrians to kill each other it is doubly wrong for cowardly Americans to do so.
