The United States and the war on terrorism: the contradiction in the face of Syrian crisis

Abstract

This study is an attempt to fathom the so-called US war on terrorism, according to a hypothesis that terrorism is American Making, and that successive American administrations relied upon it to justify its attempts to global domination and suppression of peoples. And what is happening in Syria and the contradiction of American attitudes in the Syrian crisis reveals the depth of US involvement in this Making and what is happening is the American administering of terrorism and not a war against it. The choosing of terrorism as the mysterious enemy which is pliable as needed has come out of the kitchens and corridors of the CIA, and put the whole world in imminent danger after the United States lost control of what has been wrought with their own hands. In the Arab region, which the United States was keen to be involved in for strategic reasons, the foremost of which is the concern for the survival of the Zionist entity and control over oil resources and markets. Encouraging terrorism was an obvious policy under the pretext of facing repressive regimes in the region, thus trying to exploit the revolutions that swept the region to manage the change by fabricating conflicts that diverted revolutions from their tracks, and spreading chaos in the region and prepare it to re- mapping in a way that is consistent with American interests by spreading sectarian and ethnic conflicts.
