The human tragedies and chaos let loose by coalitions of western allies, who tend to bypass the international forum of UN whenever convenient and call themselves “international community”. It is no more than a bunch of half a dozen of the old colonial powers, instigated by an all-powerful US. The results of such an arrogance are there for the rest of the world to see, except for themselves. Arrogance blinds us to the reality. International support is now sought to preserve the so-called “world heritage”, which in most cases represents the glories of the Greco-Roman empire, a forerunner of the western colonial empires and their descendants.
