Currently, roughly 23% of the world’s population — more than 1.6 BILLION people — have no political rights related to how they are governed, and if they try to exercise their innate liberty as human beings, they face sever consequences, including harassment, imprisonment, torture and death.

The people of Syria do indeed belong to this group of oppressed global citizens, and yet so do the citizens of dozens of other countries. Obama recently advocated military action against the Syrian government for its supposed role in the recent chemical weapons catastrophe there — calling that attack a “moral outrage”, and despite 90% of the American people’s rejection of this plan, he is still campaigning to rain terror down upon the Syrian president and his government in response to that wrong.

Fair enough … And yet, aside from the fact that any military response against such immorality would not only be itself immoral but also counterproductive; setting aside for the moment the fact that any military attack would destroy many more innocent lives than Assad ever has or ever could destroy, an important question remains — a question that, once answered, reveals the true diabolical motives underlying Obama’s words.

And the question is this: Mr. Obama, if you are truly determined to attack Syria to combat “evil” and right a wrong; if you are truly attacking Syria to mend a “moral outrage”, then why haven’t you yet attacked Belarus … or Burma … or Chad … or China … or Cuba … or Eritrea … or Guinea … or Laos … or North Korea … or Saudi Arabia … or Somalia … or Sudan … or Turkmenistan … or Uzbekistan … or Tibet — countries where the human rights violations are just as vile if not worse than Syria’s?

Why haven’t you stopped supporting Israel, whose treatment of the Palestinians in Gaza borders on the repulsive (and includes a chemical weapons attack of its own that also killed children in January of 2009)?

And why haven’t you pulled the plug on Monsanto, whose cancer-causing war on the American public’s food supply is still being subsidized by your own government to this very day?

We, the people of the world, see through your blatant hypocrisy, Mr. Obama … We stand united against your now-transparent cruel & selfish motives … We will be manipulated no more.

We reject your call to war, and now stand instead for Peace & Brotherhood.

Amen … Let it be so.
