Editor,
According to the Bible, Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” It is in this spirit that I wish to speak on some disturbing revelations that have come to light about U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. According to a former top official from the U.S. intelligence community, the U.S. government created the terrorist organization known as ISIS in order to destabilize and overthrow the government of Syria.
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who was formerly the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said in a recent interview that the U.S. had essentially aided and abetted the rise of ISIS in order to overthrow the Syrian government. Speaking about the Obama administration’s decision to sit back while ISIS seized territory in Syria and Iraq, Flynn said, “I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision.” With this new information in mind, we should examine recent U.S. threats against Russian involvement in Syria.
President Obama recently criticized Russia’s support of the Syrian government by saying, “The strategy they’re pursuing right now of doubling down on Assad is a mistake.” Why is it a mistake for Russia to support one of the few remaining secular governments in the Middle East that protects religious minorities? Would the world be better off if the head-chopping and heart-eating religious fanatics of ISIS were allowed to take over Syria with Western help like they did in Libya in 2011?
The truth can be ugly and painful to bear. Based on the above facts, it seems that the U.S. government is supporting ISIS in order to overthrow the Syrian government without having to send in U.S. boots on the ground like in Afghanistan or Iraq. Russia is doing all civilized humanity a service by supporting the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. The future of the world will be a brighter one when, God willing, the Syrian government emerges victorious from this hellish conflict.
Sincerely,
