Obama's September 10 Speech on Syria:
More Lies for War from the Liar-in-Chief
Obama's speech was packaged as a defense of his policies and his latest diplomatic moves. But this was as big a collection of incredible lies as has ever been assembled in a speech, starting with Obama's assertion that "the world's a better place" because for "nearly seven decades the United States has been the anchor of global security."

Syria: Diplomacy... and Danger of a U.S. Attack
Developments concerning Syria continue to move very quickly. On Saturday, September 14, the U.S. and Russia reached an agreement to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons. The agreement could mean that the threat of a U.S. military strike has receded—at least for now. At the same time, the rulers of the U.S. are working to set terms where they could launch a military strike claiming that they had tried diplomacy first and "it didn't work."

Welcome to Revolution/revcom.us!
If you're grappling with how horrific the world is and looking for a way out of this madness, one key thing you have to do is to get into Bob Avakian and the movement for revolution.
With the U.S. threatening and maneuvering to possibly attack yet another country militarily, ask yourself:
Which country in the world, from its beginnings to the present time, has the bloodiest history of genocide, slavery, invasions, coups, installing and backing brutal regimes, bombings, massacres and mass destruction, including the use of nuclear weapons? And which government imprisons its own people and in particular its minorities at the highest rate in the world?
No good can come from U.S. imperialist intervention of any kind.
