Syria Chemical Attack Possibilities

Since Syria chemical incident, there have been many theories. While we don't know exactly what's true, I believe the reason behind it is not only 1 but several. Below, I briefly add few more possibilities to the pot:

1- We all have noticed Israel harsh reaction, since Rohani's election. She seems to be sleepless, fearing some kind of deals between Washington (+ others) & Tehran. On the other hand, Iran has never been shy to express his strong support for Syria - not just recently but for many years. In other words, any attack on Syria, can be interpreted as an attack on Iran (at least, from Iran's regime point of view), & that will sour any possible sweet talk between US (+ the rest of the west) & Iran. Since all Israel efforts to twist US arms to attack Iran has been failed so far, Israel is using Syria:

a)      in the short term: to stop any deal or normalization of relation between west & Iran.

b)      in the medium term: open gate for military conflict between US (&possibly west) & Iran by pooling the foot of both US & Iran into Syria.

c)      in the long term: since that will pull some other ME feet in this war game (Saudi, Turkey, etc.), at very least, it'd be very fruitful for Israel by weakening & destabilizing all these ME countries from military, economy, political, internal, & other point of views (like Iraq & Iran war).

2- President Obama, VP Biden & others in US have expressed to Israel, even publicly & openly, many times, that their "military option on table" is not a bluff, & on the other hand, Israel has expressed its concern & doubt. In this Syria matter, Israel is testing Obama. It's like a tiny quiz before the final test. And Mr. Obama, with that politically unwise & naïve statement he made while ago (attack if chemical line is crossed by Assad), is stuck in something that can't neither change the gear forward nor reverse. After all, his, his administration, & US face is on stake here. And Israel knows that very well. In other word, Israel has put him in the corner. Let's not forget, next year (2014) is US congressional election. Is it really Obama, who's putting pressure on Congress about Syria, or it's other way?!

3- Marginalizing Palestine negotiation. Israel & Palestine negotiation restarted just recently with so much Kerry's air mileage points & hope but no one talks about it these days. It moved to the sideline. Especially with recent killing of 3 Palestinians & continuation of building construction, the negotiation power has weakened. Is this all part of tricks that Israel has been playing for many years: always, something more important happens!?

4- Marginalizing Egypt coup: Situation in Egypt is much worse than what they talk about & what they calculated & expected (by those behind the coup). But no more news coverage.

5- Same thing for Libya coup. Maybe during the shipment of "democracy" vehicle there, some parts got missed from the containers!

6- Same thing for Iraq's failure & everyday bombings & killings of innocent people.

7- Same thing for everyday failures in Afghanistan.

8- Maybe it's done by some Arab counties (Saudi, Qatar, etc.) with/without Turkey &/or Israel to pull feet of some big cats into the game to finish Assad sooner because it's been taking much more time & $ than what they originally thought & calculated.

Some other possibilities:

9- Maybe it's done by Iran:

                       

a)      to open a new war front for US, while it's ending Afghanistan's front, to further engaging it, to not to attack Iran. After all, Afghanistan & Iraq wars discourage US to open a new front by attacking Iran.

b)      to silence Iranians complains for its economical problems by engaging in a war (like during Iraq war).

c)      to test US & west.

10- Maybe it's done by Russia:

a)      to open a new war front for US, while it's ending Afghanistan's front, to further weaken her economic & global image - like what US did to Soviet Union during cold war race & Soviet 8 years war in Afghanistan. As US goes further under deep debt, its ability to respond to even real threat in future will diminish. This puts US in a dangerous position.

b)      to cut some deals with US & west: I give OK in UN Security Council about Syria, & in return, you give me…

11- Maybe it's done by Assad:

a)      To unify public behind one front against foreign attack on country: USA & Israel, which are not very popular deep in the heart of Syrian people or the rest of ME people. Even Saudi, Qatar, or Iran are not very popular there either. If opposition sleeps with them these days, is because of guns & money, which they can't continue without them. Now, in case of foreign war, anyone joins the other side (any opposition), is going to immediately be considered by public (& of course, Assad's media) as traitor.

b)      After 2 years of internal conflict, Syrian people (even those who are not fighting, even Assad's supporters) are getting very tired. Any complain about any shortage (food, gas, etc.), will be justified by regime for the same reason: foreign war (like during Iraq & Iran war).

World #1 Problem: We Are Too Many

World's high population is the main cause of global issues.
The root cause of each & every major global issues today is because we (human race) are more than what we suppose to be. Some of the existing issues which many of them are also increasing every day: Global hunger; food shortage & price increase; energy shortage, increase in demand & price; poverty; water shortage; lack of job (high unemployment); political conflicts; wars; terrorism; growing unrest, demonstrations, revolutions, and strikes; increase in number of cars, devices, and garbage; increase in pollution (soil, water, air, atmosphere, orbit); lack of education (cost increase, less affordable, high dropout); health issues (fast disease distribution, new sickness, new & stronger bacteria/viruses, medical cost increase, less affordable); crime rate (& increase in brutality); drug creation, trafficking, addiction, etc (& all crime & murder related to it); prostitution; over fishing; etc….

With significant & continuous improvement in technology (machines, computer, robotics, automation, etc.), management, and efficiency; less & less work force is needed everyday to produce the same stuff for everyone and satisfy the demand. Therefore, less & less workers are needed, which leads to more & more layoffs & unemployment.

Syriana said: “capitalism can’t survive without waste”. It needs increase in population, consumption, replacement, through out, and waste. More waste leads to more pollution but a lot of big corporations, investors, shareholders, and people, don’t care. More pollution cause more environmental impacts, more impacting animals, plants, seas & oceans, coral reefs,…, and human itself. Yes, we are also shooting ourselves in the foot.

The main problem, the root cause for all the suffering of nature (trees, etc.) & wild animals, if u trace is one thing: We (Human) are Too Many. Huge human population growth in the world in such a short time within ~ half a century (and keep growing), has caused so much problem for nature, as well as human itself. Look at the diagrams of the human population growth - it's scary. Imagine if any large animal in world had such a growth & population & presence on whole earth, and we were the minority! We'd all die from heart attach. I don't know how these poor animals had survived! Please advocate to every country and UN to do something about this epidemic (from nature point of view); to teach & encourage people to keep # of children 2 or below; give them free condom, or whatever that works.

No more horizontal expansion of human cities. Human has already expanded too much, and taken most of planet, made life very difficult for all animals & plants who share this planet Earth with us. Human must stop its population growth, and for the meantime, expand cities only vertically, to leave this little space that has left for the rest of nature.

If a solar storm (or any other national disaster) happen, & we lose electricity, power, energy, etc., it’ll be very hard for people on earth to survive.

From Doc. film "Planet Earth":
* Over the last 300 yrs, we’ve lost ~ 0.5 of the world’s forest. But the pattern of loss has been very different. So much of the earlier period of loss, covered the temperate forests, in both the north & the south, especially in EU & N-America more recently, we are finding we are losing tropical forests at a much quicker rate than previously. Is the ultimate problem for wilderness worldwide that there r simply too many people?

* Jonathon Porritt (Chair, UK Sustainable Development Commission): One thing that’s always worried me ~ the environment movement for the last 30 yrs., is their inability to get their heads around the importance of population…. But the issue of population lies absolutely at the heart of destruction of the natural world today.
