It is as clear as the nose on our face that the power pushing for war here, and pulling the strings, is Saudi Arabia. It should be noted that the Saudi monarchy hates Bashar al-Assad with a vengeance. It should also be noted that Saudis never fight their own battles, wars, they just get others to fight them for them. David Cameron is King Abdullah's willing little helper, as is Barack Obama. It's amazing how powerful oil is; it's amazing how powerful arms contracts are. Have oil aplenty, spend big bucks on arms, and the whole Western world will be willing to do your bidding for you. – © Mark Alexander
