With the Aleppo victory for Assad, the death-knell has been sounded for the West and its hegemony. Not able to digest what is happening, it is indulging in the media campaign highlighting the “bloodshed”. They never counted the dead when they killed more than 2 million in Iraq. They did not count either when they killed hundreds of thousands in Afghanistan and Libya. But since the “rebellion” planted by them in Syria started failing, they are busy in counting the dead. Instead of blaming them and their supporters for the majority of death, they blame Assad alone for the bloodshed. The truth is that the number of deaths on the Assad’s side is no less than the rest, and out of the rest a large number are rebels themselves. Nobody asks them why they sent weapons and militants to change a regime. They killed Saddam Hussein. They killed Ghaddafi. With failure in Syria, they will now not find it easy any more to attack a Muslim country with impunity.

By Dr. Javed Jamil,

This was what I had written in an article published in Siasat on 8th October:

“Syria is on the brink of becoming for America what Afghanistan proved to be for Soviet Union in 1970s. Soviet Union fell soon after its ouster from Afghanistan and America has since then boasted of as the only superpower. Less than 50 years on, the cycle has reversed. Only the country of confrontation has changed. This time it is Syria; and Russia is playing to America what America did to it in Afghanistan. It was about three years back that I had predicted this in my write up, “If America attacks Syria, the World Can again become Bipolar” published in Milligazzette (Aug 28, 2013) and several other news portals, I had written:

“The problem is that Russia and China have taken a much tougher stand against American threats than they have done any time before in the last three decades. The Iranian angle makes things worse. The US and its Western allies fear that if they go ahead with their military plan, what remains an informal alliance of Russia, China and Iran, can suddenly become formal. From being defensive, which it has been in recent years, it can turn aggressive. The world, which had become unipolar with the end of the Cold War, can again become bipolar. And this time, the old Communist bloc can have a bigger and more open support of the resurgent Islamic world. The balloon of the myth of dependence of Muslim World on West can puncture.

“If West learns to behave, it will be better for the whole world. If it does not, while the mankind will suffer as a whole, Political and Economic West will also fast approach its inevitable decline. Then on September 14, 2013, I wrote another article in Muslim Mirror, entitled, “Thanks to Syria, We are back to Bipolar World”. I wrote:

“Now the world has begun to realize. We are back to a bipolar world. For the first time in several decades, American initiative on an international crisis has been squarely defeated. And for the first time a Russian initiative has won.”

With the Aleppo victory for Assad, the death-knell has been sounded for the West and its hegemony. Not able to digest what is happening, it is indulging in the media campaign highlighting the “bloodshed”. They never counted the dead when they killed more than 2 million in Iraq. They did not count either when they killed hundreds of thousands in Afghanistan and Libya. But since the “rebellion” planted by them in Syria started failing, they are busy in counting the dead. Instead of blaming them and their supporters for the majority of death, they blame Assad alone for the bloodshed. The truth is that the number of deaths on the Assad’s side is no less than the rest, and out of the rest a large number are rebels themselves. Nobody asks them why they sent weapons and militants to change a regime. They killed Saddam Hussein. They killed Ghaddafi. With failure in Syria, they will now not find it easy any more to attack a Muslim country with impunity.

Unfortunately, the Sunni World seems to have fallen in the trap of the international conspiracy, which is aimed at creating discord between Sunnis and Shias. They did not count the Sunnis killed by America in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. When West invaded Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, it was not Shia Iran but Sunni Arab countries that openly supported them. When it comes to Syria (or Iraq following the America-led war), they have started talking in terms of Sunnis and Shias.

The fall of Aleppo is sure to signal a route of departure for West and its allies. Their hegemony has lasted too long. It is the time to end it. Despite all its efforts since Iranian Revolution, it has failed to defeat Iran. The challenge for Iran is now how to stop the Sunni-Shia divide. If it fails in bridging the gap, the Revolution will sooner or later fail; if it succeeds, a peaceful Islamic Revolution will envelop the world in next two decades. It has also to ensure that Russia does not try to become what America has been in last seven to eight decades. It is important for the Muslim world not to fall in the trap of the superpowers.

The West had been trying to convince the world that the “tyrant Assad regime” had to be removed. They forget that there cannot be bigger tyrants than America, Israel and their allies. They also forget their support to the tyrants in the past. Assad was a tyrant for them only because he was part of the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah axis, which America and Israel regard as the biggest obstacle in their domination of the region.

The most urgent need of the time is a truce between Saudi Arab and Iran. Both must understand that if they remain divided, nothing will stop their ultimate downfall. If they unite, the truth will prevail. Instead of blaming each other, they must try to find out ways to face the developing situation with wisdom. They have to prove to the world that they seek to bring peace to the world but the dream of world peace cannot be realised without lasting peace in the Muslim world.
