Simple Take On Syrian War

A few years ago there was relative peace.

Now there is a real war being rumored.

Who has worked to keep the peace? And who has worked to make war?

Our military and allies have worked to make war possible. Indeed, one of our allies even attacked Syria.

We could have stepped in years ago to stop arms from reaching the rebels. We did not. The US is not on the peace making side. Even one of our SoD has suggested we make war on Syria.

Too many of us have been convinced that war is the only solution now.

That's how effective the propaganda has become.

PTB want war and they will get a war; over many dead bodies. It doesn't have to be that way. We could have eternal peace.
