Some expert Ghouta analysis:
I think that Bush/Bliar have screwed up the public of the world's trust by going to war on a pile of lies.
In Iraq the weapons just didn't exist. In Syria we know for absolute certain that they do and that they have been used repeatedly.
The problem we now have is that if Assad is not punished in some way then it will be open season for despots and freedom fighters all over the world to use WMD at will.
Assad's propaganda in articles like this
EXCLUSIVE: Syrians In Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack (which is a pack of lies written by one of his supporters) has been incredibly successful. People seem far more willing to believe this rubbish than they are what their governments tell them. Thank you Blair/Brown.
Assad has concentrated on the propaganda message that the rebels are all foreigners and that they are all religious extremists. Both of these are lies yet they have been repeated many times by the mainstream press as well as endlessly on the social media.
