All surprises have become possible and likely to be seen in the context of international political anarchy and games. And all crimes have become probable in our Arab region under the ceiling of misleading and lies, such as the one issued by a Syrian minister who believed that "all the Syrian people" insisted on President Bashar al-Assad's stay in power, because the "heaven" of chemical massacres, the killing of 115,000 people, and the displacement of millions inside and outside the country are achievements that are specific to them. In that same logic, the leader of Kremlin and the ally of the Syrian regime, i.e. President Vladimir Putin, has become a "peace hero" and a wise man who deserves a Nobel prize according to some Russians participating in the deceitful PR game. Hence, they believe that he spared the world a third cosmic war, regardless of the fall of another hundred thousand victims in the "heaven" of the steadfast regime in Damascus. In parallel to the party of misleading and blatant lies, by which crimes are turned into virtues and in which the policies of the game of the nations has fallen, there is an Iranian-Israeli party of exchanged complaints that is only making more room in the region, its wars and tragedies for further lies. True, the Iranian foreign minister of the new mandate, i.e. Mohammad Javad Zarif, was right to accuse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of lying. But the minister may not have heard that some among the Iranians do not exclude President Hassan Rohani's lying, as his tale contradicted the American one in regard to the backdrop of the cell phone diplomacy between him and President Barack Obama. Between Rohani "the wolf" in Netanyahu's opinion, Putin the "wise" in that of the simple Russians and Al-Assad who cannot be relinquished by "all the Syrian people despite everyone's will" as per the minister's testimony, the only truth in the region is the sea of blood seen in Syria and Iraq, the killings that are now being conducted on a daily basis in Egypt, Yemen and Libya, and the ones threatening to swallow Tunisia. Also true is the presence of dozens of brigades raising the banner of Islam while massacring the Muslims, claiming to resist the tyrants but killing only the civilians, and paving the way before the surrender of the Arab world to a new generation of dictators. Once again, one must ask the following question: What do Putin, Rohani, and Netanyahu, i.e. the "wise man," "the wolf", and the liar, have to do with our causes? They are simply fighting over the Arabs' corpse. In the game of nations, there is no pessimism, but rather a reality saying we have become a big zero, a thing which we never were even in the darkest days of colonialism. Dictatorship is rooted deep within our cells and we only topple one tyrant to confiscate his chair. Then the only freedom left is that of the successor to supervise the distribution of the spoils. We have become a big zero and we still wonder: What does the Iranian nuclear file have to do with Iran's extension of its hand and tongue to Bahrain while pursuing the regional deal for which it has been preparing for twenty years? What does Tehran have to do with Yemen, the "rights" of the Houthis, Hezbollah's caretaker share in the affairs of the Lebanese state – or what is left of it – and the immunization of Nouri al-Maliki's rule, regardless of the number of victims of the booby-trapped cars? And after Mahmud Ahmadinejad, what does Rohani have to do with the suppression of the Syrian revolution's cause and the preparation of the cards for the deal in Geneva 2? We have become a big zero and if one asks about the hundreds being killed every day in Iraq and Syria, the immediate answer is: This is fine. Iraq and Greater Syria are here to stay. Hence, the corpses become mere figures, at a time when violence does not differentiate between the rights of the victims, whether Muslims, Christians, Sunnis or Shiites. And what prevents the detonation of funerals? Are the killers not "liver eaters" as described by Putin? Minister Sergei Lavrov for his part is only worried about their alliance with those seeking the establishment of the Caliphate state. Let us thank Putin for his extraordinary efforts in preventing a third world war. On the other hand, the ever-escalating bloodbath in Syria and Iraq, the displacement of the Christians from both countries, of the Sunnis from South Iraq and the Syrians from all of Syria, and the Lebanese's burdening with the troubles of the refugees and their country's map, are all outside the scope of interest of Kremlin and the other major actors. We cannot - as a big zero - deny these Western actors' concerns for the rights of the minorities, their compassion for the victims of the chemical weapons in Syria and the tears they shed in defense of the Syrian oppositionists' rights. However, the revolutionaries mistakenly and naively believed the promises of the West, i.e. the protector of freedoms in the West alone, knowing that what is worse is the region's affliction with the blindness of brigades that only produce armies of destruction and emirs of calamities. In the presence of the latter, does the race between Obama, Putin, Netanyahu, and Rohani not become a project within the context of the game of interests?
