Today the U.S. has officially declared a state of war against ISL , and its ISIS militants . The Middle-East , the Arab and to an extend the Islamic world , are in total chaos nowadays , few areas and countries seem more stable , while others less or not at all , but surely , all are very vulnerable and liable to being swallowed and consumed by current events . I hope that the willing and the able are smart enough and fully aware of their policies and actions , and their future effects for the area , and over its populations . Otherwise the possibility and dangers of a world wide conflict and doomsday's scenarios will be de rigueur .
Whom are we trying to save in Syria as well as in Iraq ? is it the Syrian people in general , or only certain factions and ethnic minorities , are we fighting to save the Syrian regime or its counterpart in Baghdad , or their adversaries , and if it's the moderate oppositions and revolutionaries that are the target of our help and training , then , who are they ? and why are we willingly handing them to Saudi control ?
How primordial is Saudi , and its Gulf affiliates , in the governing and ruling of these lucky groups ? Are we being involved in facilitating the reinstatement of certain factions and aspects of Sunni dominance and governance , simply by eliminating and replacing insubordinate Sunni rebels leaders by other more compliant ones , or bringing them to obedience .
Are Gulf kingdoms and Sheikdoms' money and assumed long alliances , buying our might and transforming our air superiority into their own , to apply and reinforce their Islamic/political agendas in Iraq and more so in Syria , maybe even selling chunks of Iraq to its Shiite population , satisfying Iran against other concessions , Kurdistan to its long aspiring Kurds , as well of course , to satisfy our special interests , and creating a convenient Wahhabi/Sunni new space in most of Syria-Iraq and some of their neighbors .
Have we already established a Geographic price to pay to the Assad regime and clan , plus other minorities in Syria and Lebanon , so as to accommodate such Islamic new modern lines of divisions , with our blessings and as always Israel's , Is the Hashemite king next visit to the U.S capital to negotiate his Independence , disappearance or appointment to a greater role within the Sunni proposed world ? all naturally under a clear , controlled and approved Saudi umbrella that follows and is under ours unconditionally .
Let's all be really clear ; What Is it that we mean by officially stating ; " we are not in a war with I.S , only with terrorism , or , we will target only its leadership , we are looking only to contain the Islamic state , not to go to total war over its territories .
All difficult questions , to be eventually answered by our strategists and our policy makers in their alliances with blind forces of supposedly moderate Islamic countries , i.e. Saudi and others , that could only lead to more conflicts of civilizations , something the area was hoping to get out of , and not look to recreate and reinstate .
Gloomy , but likely to take place , destroying the last hopes of secularization , democratization and civility , my usual many thanks .
