» How to Stop Obama’s Military Aggression Against Syria — Paul Craig Roberts
Paul Craig Roberts
Many are asking what can be done to stop the pending US attack on Syria.
Two things can be done.
One is for the US Congress to realize that it does not save America’s face for Congress
to endorse a policy that has been rejected by the rest of the world, including Washington’s closest ally, Great Britain. For Congress to endorse what the UN Secretary General and the President of Russia have made unequivocally clear would be a war crime under international law harms, not rescues, America’s reputation. Doing the wrong thing to save face does not succeed.
In the event that Congress fails to understand the real stakes and votes to support a criminal action, the second thing that can be done to stop the attack is for most other countries in the world--China, India, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Iran, South Africa, the European and South American countries--to add their clear unequivocal statements to those of the UN General Secretary and President Putin that an American attack on Syria that is not authorized by the UN Security Council is a war crime. Expression by the governments of the world of this truthful statement would make it clear to Washington that it is isolated from the world community. For Obama to proceed in an act of aggression in the face of united opposition would destroy all influence of the US government and make it impossible for any officials of the Obama regime to travel abroad or to conduct business with other governments. What government would conduct business with a war criminal government? It is up to the governments of the world to make it clear to Washington that the US government is not above the law and will be held accountable.
Note the reports from congressional offices of the total lack of any support for Obama's
attack on Syria. The entire world is now watching the obama regime demonstrate its total
disregard for the will of the people. The obama regime is showing that American democracy
is a hoax. http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/calls-to-congress-244-to-1-against-syria-war/
