Tony Gosling is a freelance radio journalist who covered the IRA bombing campaign and the first Gulf war for BBC Radio in London.
The Arab League is lobbying for a UN peacekeeping initiative in Syria. Tony Gosling, an investigative journalist, says the organization is heavily influenced by the West, which is moving towards conflict.
âThe Arab League now has become simply a tool of the West, because the most powerful countries in there are very much under the Western petrodollar influence,âGosling explained, adding that the body no longer represents the interests of Arab people. Meanwhile, the journalist asserts that Western policy is divided into the official and unofficial whereby, officially, the Western countries seek negotiations but, unofficially, carry out âconstant cover attacks against the Assad regime.â Gosling says the current crisis looks âas if NATO are trying to just simply replay the script they wrote for the Libyan uprising.â The journalist says NATO have been âruthlessâ in manipulating the rebels in order to get them to fight the Assad regime. âMany of the rebel fighters in Syria are playing into the hands of NATO,â he added. Gosling strongly warns that intervention in Syria will bring drastic consequences. âAssad has made it crystal clear if there is an intervention in Syria he will then attack Israel. If this does happen it may even cause a nuclear exchange in the Middle East, which could be the first shots of a third world war.â The only way to save Syria, the journalist says, is through negotiated settlement, âbut the actions of the West are, unfortunately, heading for more conflict.â
