This Western educated scholar, yet independent thinker, explains to us how Empire agents have cynically used sectarianism to destabilize Syria, and identifies the larger "Great Game" being played out in the Middle East.
The real divide is not religious or sectarian but geopolitical; and foreign intervention is not motivated by religious affiliations nor the promotion of democracy. The Great Game being played in Syria is between a broad coalition of US-Israeli-Saudi-Qatari-Turkish interests on the one hand and Syria, Russia, Iran and Hizbollah on the other.Unfortunately her Western training is evident when she fails to identify what the "US-Israeli-Saudi-Qatari-Turkish interests" consist of.
