GRA: Western media confidently say that the fall of the current Syrian regime is inevitable. In your opinion, how well founded this prediction is, and is there some political power that can bring order to this situation?
M.C. I think that the media aspect of the story is essential, as the strictly war and geopolitical ones. Just as said the philosopher Baudrillard Jaen , in a postmodern society that is dominated by a "mediatic" reality, by communication's technologies increasingly pervasive and ambiguous, our situation, he argues, can be likened to a "ipereality." This is due to the total lack of distinction between objects and their representations, as it happens in the media world: the signs lose contact with the meaning of things, so that the end of the twentieth century was marked by her being a witness to the destruction of meanings unprecedented. For Baudrillard, the new electronic media presage a world of pure simulacra, models, code and digitality of artificial images that have become the "real", thus narrowing and eroding any distinction between the "real" world and that of ' mediated image. In essence, the narrative of a given political and institutional context - such as Syria today - always exceeds the actual reality of the facts. U.S. Imperialism has, in Syria today as in the past in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, the first major weapon in his service: the manipulation of information. Beyond the opinion of each individual on the Syrian political system, some aspects that are not reported by the Western media highlight: Bashar Al Assad is the legitimate President of the Syrian State, not because of some conspiracy or some strange formula, but simply because the majority of the Syrian people has freely elected in free elections, where, until proven otherwise, there is a representative parliamentary system with several parties that can contribute to power. I can not predict the evolution of the situation, I can only hope that Syria will be able to win his epic battle, and maintain its sovereignty and independence in the face of his assailants.
GRA: How likely is a forceful U.S. intervention in the Syrian conflict and attempt to violently overthrow the regime of Bashar al-Assad (or the U.S. will keep a distance and will not dare to risk)? Under circumstances of such a possibility, what consequences it will bring to America itself?
M. C. In fact, the Yankee attack has already begun, not even with a direct attack, but through indirect actions, international pressure, economic sanctions, infiltration of mercenaries and terrorists, huge loans to so-called rebels - ground proliferation of Islamic fundamentalism. There is a small detail, of which the United States must take into account: Syria is not alone to fight this epic battle. Yet another no recently expressed by Russia and China about a possible new actions of the Security Council of the United Nations on the Syrian crisis has sparked a real confrontation with the Western countries, also in favor of military solutions instead.
"The Russian position is well known, is balanced, and utterly devoid of emotions, which are ill-adapted to a situation so complicated. So, maybe it would not be correct to say that this position may change in the wake of pressure from anyone, "with these words Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for President Vladimir Putin has sought to stress the point of view of the Kremlin on the difficult situation in the country Arabic after repeated appeals to, more or less diplomatic, addressed by the EU and the U.S. in Moscow not to interfere with their plans for Damascus. Words which did not fail to replicate shortly after U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, always with the hypocrisy that characterizes it. "The Russians say they will not want to see a civil war, I tell them that their policy could trigger a civil war," he said from Copenhagen, where he is visiting, the former first lady.
