JAMES PAUL, author of Syria Unmasked and former executive director of Global Policy Forum, a think tank that monitors the UN said today: “A U.S. military strike would opt for more violence and destruction in war-torn Syria and promote victory of the fundamentalist Islamic rebels. Such an intervention is clearly contrary to international law, in the absence of Security Council authorization. It is a reminder of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and so many others, when justifications were concocted and propaganda pumped out at high volume. Coming just after the U.S.-backed coup in Egypt, a Syria attack would further destabilize the Middle East region, while reflecting decades of interventionist U.S. strategy in the oil-rich Middle East.
