A New Anti-Imperialist Bloc of Nations Convened by Russia is Needed to Prevent a New Middle East War.

The US tries to break up existing countries and turn them
into “rump states”, such as Libya that is descending into chaos, an
analyst tells Press TV referring to the current situation in Syria.
After
vetoing an anti-Syria resolution in the UN Security Council earlier
this month, China and Russia said that the current crisis in the Arab
country should be resolved through political channels.
Meanwhile,
the United States, Israel and some Arab States as well as al-Qaeda are
seeking to overthrow the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and many people have lost their lives in the violence.
The
West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing
protesters. But Damascus blames “outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist
groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from
abroad.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Webster Griffin
Tarpley, author and historian from Washington, to share his opinion on
this issue. The following is a transcript of the interview:
Press TV:
Webster Tarpley, what is the rush, why is it that there is such a push
for Assad to go and not give a chance for reforms as he has promised
which includes revision of the constitution and of course elections to
be held after that?
Tarpley: Part of it is a
hysteria here in Washington; there is kind of a prevalent psychosis
that if you don’t ride the color revolutions and the people power cues
and the destabilizations as far as you can and as fast as you can, then
that process will come to an end and you won’t have accomplished your
goal.
Then remember the idea here is [Polish American political
scientist] Zbigniew Brzezinski’s theory of micro states and mini
states; it’s to break up existing countries, to have war lords, to have
secession, to have failed states, rump states- the kind of thing we
see in Libya which seems to be descending into chaos; that may be the
best example.
And Syria of course is a key part of a block that
reaches from Hezbollah, to Syria, to Iraq, to Iran and over to
Pakistan. That would all be sort of anti-imperialist territory if Syria
could be taken out and that would break it up.
I would point to
one very important thing. The beginning of this week we have Zawahiri
the likely MI6 double agent who runs al-Qaeda, calling on all the
fighters in Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and everywhere else to come
into Syria and wage war against Assad.
And we had the US
intelligence, James Clapper yesterday in the Congress acknowledging
that al-Qaeda, these terrorists; these killers are an integral part of
the Syrian opposition.
And nevertheless the US pushed through
that resolution saying that the Syrian army and the Syrian police, the
lawfully constituted forces of that government, they have to pull out
of cities like Homs and they have to turn that over to these foreign
fighters, renegades, deserters and al-Qaeda.
So basically they
are saying Homs is better off under al-Qaeda than it is under Assad and
that is just an obscene, a monstrosity. It shows you how degraded
these imperialists have become as they attempt to pursue this process
of destabilization.
