Prof. Michel Chossudovsky,
Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization weighs in on the
insurrectionary nature of the Syrian conflict and its potential to generate a
larger regional conflict in the Middle East.
As the Syrian
crisis enters its 16th month, the recent massacres in Houla and Hama have revived
calls for foreign intervention and the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has recently hinted that the United States
would soon take action outside of the
Annan plan and the authority of the United Nations if the
persistent violence in Syria continued unabated. While the Syrian opposition severs its commitment to uphold
Kofi Annan’s peace plan and openly calls for a UN- no-fly zone to replace the monitoring mission, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced a
new transition plan that would remove Assad from power completely. As outside forces plan a post-Assad transition strategy, the people
of Syria are fast approaching a historic crossroads, of which may lead to a
broader sectarian conflict that would forever reshape the Middle East.
