Lost in the incessant demonization of the latest bogeyman of the mainstream media however, are the crimes of Western leaders.Comparative
to the plethora of imperial butchers in the Western world, who still
manage to escape prosecution for their crimes, the Syrian President
really is an angel.
Tony
Blair and George Bush launched a war of aggression in Iraq that has
killed and maimed millions of innocent people, an invasion that was
denounced by the former United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, as
“illegal”. In 2011, a Malaysian tribunal which applied the Nuremberg Principles to the 2003 war found that both Bush and Blair were guilty of war crimes.
The
illegal war in Iraq is just one example of the abhorrent crimes of the
West and the flagrant hypocrisy of its leaders. Unfortunately, there is
no accountability for the criminal class in the Western world, only a conveyor belt of future Machiavellian leaders.
