Wow! Syria tortures people.

I just heard it on the news. Syria might be using torture in its prisons - which hold ten thousand prisoners. (US prisons hold a more reasonable 2.4 million).
Now, we will no doubt hear that NATO must intervene for humanitarian reasons, just as it did in Libya. The world cannot allow torture by foreigners. Stephen Harper will rally us to the cause.
You remember Stephen. He's the one who allowed the US to "render" at least to Canadians to Syria where they could be tortured by the CIA.
Is this accusation one that will rouse Americans and Canadians to intervene in righteous wrath?
You bet..
People forget reality in a hurry.

There will be no intervention in Syria. It has no oil.

To control the oil, the western powers have to control the whole region. That's the idea behind the neighbouring AFrican Union. That whole part of the world has to be closed completely to shut out China and Russia.
The may feel it necessary to deal with Yemen first, though.

Russia has their own oil, they are exporting not importing.
The Chinese are everywhere on the oil front, including Canada. I have heard they are in Iraq as major players. The US may have thought the new Iraq would be a good candidate for US oil companies, but they did not foresee the disastrous security situation that would develop.
Let me check around a bit more on this topic.

The first country that becomes independent of oil, will herald in the new world order.

It's not just oil in Africa that's at issue. It's tremendous mineral resources that the west has been ripping off for over a century. The US wants to keep other outsiders away.
