The Ghost Of Chemical Warfare

It appears that the Syrian regime has unleashed its' last shabeeh. His soul consists of lethal chemical substances like Sarin and other ugly stuff, able to end the lives of tens of thousands in only a few seconds.

Since a long time that threat is known to the global representatives. So it wonders a bit that the raised forefinger telling 'hands off chemical WMD's' is put exactly now direction Damascus. Because instead of intimidating the regime it looks in the meantime as a gesture of desperation, of helplessness. Despite interpretating one or the other statement of U.S. spokesmen as a possible mobilization of ground troops to prevent the Assad faction of using those weapons.

Fact is that the regimers will not hesitate to start a chemical warfare against so-called terrorists if they see a way in it to regain lost ground in a battle they are inevitably loosing.

The world's powerful watched tea-zipping the increasing brutality of the regime's crackdown measures. They noticed gruesome massacres committed on civilians, women, children, ordering their PR officers to restate earlier given expressions of indignation, repacked until they degenerated to abstract empty phrases.

Acting in an adequate time was never a fortitude of the political class but in the case of Syria the slow motion management became in the meantime a disgusting taste of bitterness. Time to prepare really effectful measures was a lot. At the latest with the start of the Ramadan massacres in summer 2011 the global community should had engage itself into constructive politics being aware of the regime's tightening screws of mass murder and blind rage slaughter.

So it might not surprise when we'll have to witness similar images in the nearer future reminding us on the horrible footages of Sadam Hussein's chemical warfare against the population in Northern Iraq. Men, women and children, mouth and eyes teared wide open in their moment of death, covered in white dust ..
