until Isis achieved startling territorial gains in Iraq, Washington was perfectly willing to allow, indeed, even to foster (what it now calls) the cancer of Isis to metastasise throughout Syria. It expressed no apprehensions then about Isis launching 9/11-style attacks on the United States, and did nothing to stop the flow of money to the anti-Assad group from supporters based in countries that make up its Friends of Syria (read Friends of US Imperialism) coalition. Warnings of an Isis-engineered 9/11-style attack are, therefore, pure fear-mongering. In light of the above, we ought to ask whether, once launched, a US air-war in Syria will expand its target list from Isis to Syrian government forces? Is the campaign to mobilise public support for an air war against Isis in Syria a Trojan horse to escalate the war on the Assad government, and on a broader level, against the interlocked Hezbollah-Syria-Iran resistance against US domination of western Asia?
