[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Can you help me by sending this to the ufpj list?

'...a Christian from the city of Hama in central Syria, not far from  
where the Houla massacre took place, was gloomily wondering about the  
prospect of sectarian conflict. He explained that Houla is "on a  
tongue of land where the people are Sunni, but the villages around it  
are Alawite and Christian. I know it well because my wife comes from a  
village near there." He said he was very worried that if it turned out  
that the Sunni villagers, including 34 children, had been murdered by  
militia men from neighbouring Alawite villages then "I do not know  
what will happen".' [independent.co.uk]

The Shia/Sunni civil war in Iraq 2006-2008 aided the US attempt to  
control that country. That vicious internecine conflict set the  
conditions that the US ascribed to its "surge" of troops. Divide et  
impera is perhaps the oldest imperial tactic. The Obama administration  
has apparently been sending weapons and mercenaries into Syria to  
produce a similar result.

If 'the UN' (read the Obama administration) decides intervention is  
necessary, why don't they deputizes Iran to do it? Or would that  
defeat the occult purpose?
