Well here's a new twist on the so-called war on terror. Many have taken this motto to heart, as Westerners being the potential victims while anybody else is potentially a threat. What if the tables were turned however... what if anybody from Malyasia, Mainland China, Japan or Iraq or Syria saw all westerners as potential hostiles? Don't scoff my fellow Americanoes, it's already happened.
A recent airstrike on Syria (October 26th) from the U.S. result in numerous deaths and injury. Some of which were fishermen or simple labourers. Anyways, it all started with an American official who wished not to be identified (odd, isn't it?) had stated that he had identified "an Iraqi whose family the official said has been active in smuggling money, weapons and foreign fighters across the Syrian border into Iraq". Sounds alot like the Weapons of Mass Destruction fiasco doesn't it?
The airstrike involved four U.S. helicopters and military special ops forces, which launched their attack on Syria from Iraqi soil, violating (according to Syrian foreign minister)
International law. The basis of this attack on U.S. policy was due to the accusation that the anonymous U.S. informant's information was totally false. It wouldn't be the first time...
People have got to start questioning government authority and actions more openly, hopefully in time, our leaders will actually start governing in a more democratic way.
