“They are really bent on war and whatever the UN inspectors do this week won’t matter because it is a replay of 2003 when Saddam Hussein was bullied into allowing weapons inspection teams into Iraq. They went in there, they found no weapons, and yet we still had the war. In fact, they launched the war before the weapons inspection team could finish their job. It is a very similar scenario now in Syria. Only 9% of Americans support the war. Is America a democracy? That is what we are about to find out. The American people are sick of war. They have war after war after war. But there are powerful lobbies in the US; the Israel lobby is pushing for this war pretty strongly.”
