How to Stop Obamas Military Aggression Against SyriaPaul Craig Roberts Two things can be done. One is for the US Congress to realize that it does not save Americas face for Congress to endorse a policy that has been rejected by the rest of the world, including Washingtons closest ally, Great Britain. For Congress to endorse what the UN Secretary General and the President of Russia have made unequivocally clear would be a war crime under international law harms, not rescues, Americas reputation. Doing the wrong thing to save face does not succeed. In the event that Congress fails to understand the real stakes and votes to support a criminal action, the second thing that can be done to stop the attack is for most other countries in the world China, India, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Iran, South Africa, the European and South American countries to add their clear unequivocal statements to those of the UN General Secretary and President Putin that an American attack on Syria that is not authorized by the UN Security Council is a war crime.
