U.S. and Saudi Arabian backed Free Syrian Army fighters hang some of the heads of civilians killed on the entrance of the towns and villages – others they impaled on sticks in the ground as warnings to others.
The United Nation Secretary General Ban Ki Moon apparently has caved to intense pressure put upon it by the United States and Saudi Arabia and rescinded an invitation to invite Iran to participate in Syrian Peace talks.
Iran, however had previously announced that it wouldn’t be attending the peace conference because it would not stand for any preconditions for joining the talks – including the framework laid out by the United States, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in a previous conference which preconditions a “transitional government in Syria.”
In other words Assad must step down – which would lead to a power vacuum in that country and possible partitioning of Syria into different states.
The U.S. believes Iran has provided fighters, intelligence and communications to support al-Assad. Including fighters from the Iran-backed Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah in an attempt to prevent the collapse of Syria. Which is, of course true.
As such Iran should not participate?
Based on that logic Russia should also not participate because it is also sending weapons and arms to Syria to try and prevent the U.S. backed Free Syrian Army and its al-Qaeda affiliates from accomplishing a complete military takeover of Syria.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar should also not attend the peace talks because they are helping bankrolling the the bulk of Sunni terrorists extremists with weapons and arms (along with the U.S) in their effort to topple President Assad and install a Sunni dominated regime governed under strict Islamic shariah law – which would be disastrous for the Syrian people.
Neither should the U.S. participate in the peace talks because it is still providing material aid and support to the rebels, through the CIA, which is calls “humanitarian aid.”
This humanitarian aid is anything but non lethal in many cases and includes advanced satellite communications equipment and intelligence that helps terrorist fighters with the FSA (Free Syrian Army) organize, evade attacks by the Syrian government, as well as hardware and software systems to help the opposition evade government censors, and more easily communicate internally and externally.
So all sides are guilty of taking sides in the conflict and making the situation worse by backing various sides.
Moreover, there is no real agreement in terms of what the parameters of the Geneva talks even are. As such they talks are doomed to fail.
