West’s hypocrisy on Syria

The outcry over the use of chemical weapons in Syria is enormously dishonest.

Are we to take it, by inference, that the use of missiles and bullets to kill people is humane? The truth is the war in Iraq, the West’s designs on oil, and financial speculation in commodities, including basic foodstuffs, have created the trouble in Syria.

The posturing over the use of chemical weapons is PR, designed to hide this truth, and the West’s greedy, self interested abuse of the peoples of the Middle East, led, as always, by the US. The hypocrisy is overwhelming.
