The wives of two ambassadors to the United Nations have created
a YouTube video which personally attacks and seeks to humiliate
the wife of the President of Syrial, Asma Assad. Who are these
three women involved and why are women attacking women? It sounds
like a "cat-fight', which is usually based on petty jealousies and
insecurities of the attackers. I have noticed this attack is also
based on propaganda and ignorance by the two female attackers.
Huberta von Voss Wittig is the wife of the German ambassador to
the United Nations, Dr. Peter Wittig. Huberta is identified as a
journalist and writer by internet sources. She may have written a book,
"Portraits of Hope: Armenians in the Contemporay World". If she had
many Armenian friends who live inside Syria, they would have already
told her that they do not share her misinformed and ignorant views of
the violence inside Syria. I know many Armenians living inside Syria
and they are all supportive of the actions of the President of Syria,
Dr. Bashar Al Asad. In fact, Kasab, which is a wholly Armenian village,
located on the Syrian-Turkish border, has been a victim of violence
by armed terrorist groups, who are fighting the Syrian Arab Army.
However, Huberta, sitting safe in her New York City home, seems to
think herself well informed on the violence which is inside Syria. I
wonder how many times Huberta has traveled to Syria, how many friends
she has here to keep her informed, and if she has ever been attacked
by an armed terrorist? I have lived in Syria for twenty years, all
my friends are scattered around Syria in various locations, and I
have been attacked by armed terrorists in Syria.
Huberta should know that the German Navy, without German parliament
mandate, had sent a spy ship to sit off the coast of Syria, with
the express purpose of giving the terrorists inside Syria satellite
information on troop movements of the Syrian Arab Army, in and around
Homs. Huberta's husband's employer is involved in aiding the terrorists
inside Syria. Huberta is pleading for the Syrian first lady to pressure
her husband to stop attacking terrorists in Homs.
Huberta is pleading for the Syrian first lady to assist the west in
regime change. When my home was being attacked during the summer of
2011 by armed terrorists, it was only the Syrian Arab Army and the
local police who came to fight for my life and my family's protection.
Of the many thousands who have died in Syrian since March 2011 the
majority have been soldiers, police and national security officers.
Men in uniform: doing their national duty, to save and protect innocent
civilians from armed terrorists.
Sheila, Lady Lyall Grant, is the wife of Sir Mark Lyall Grant,
the British ambassador to the United Nations. I wonder if she is
wearing old clothes. Maybe Lady Lyall Grant likes to save her husband
money and run around in tattered jeans she buys from a New York City
second-hand shop. She certainly seems incensed that the first lady of
Syria has been noticed as having good taste in clothes and represents
the Syrian fashion industry well. Maybe Sheila would like to start a
worldwide campaign to prevent first ladies from dressing well. Maybe
she should start in London, not Syria.
Here is a list of some of the many positive things which Asma Al Asad,
the first lady of Syria, has done to help Syria in general and Syrian
women in particular. For example:
Changing the national school uniforms worn from the militant army
fatigues to royal blue, grey and pink fabrics.
Developing a micro-finance program for women in villages, who need
help starting their own income producing project.
Changing the law which effect women in divorce: that they can keep
custody of their young children much longer than the previous law
stated.
Developing charitable organizations focused on youth and learning.
Huberta and Sheila have husbands who work at the United Nations, but
these two women are apparently totally ignorant of the UN Charter's
article 51 which allows any President, and in this case President Assad
in particular "inherent right of individual or collective self-defense
if an armed attack occurs against a member of the United Nations".
If armed terrorists arrive in London or Berlin, in the dead of night,
having crossed borders illegally, and well funded and supplied with
all the latest killing weapons, and intent on killing as many police,
soldiers and civilians as possible, Huberta and Sheila would have us
to believe that we must all welcome them with open arms and never
try to fight back to save innocent lives. I certainly hope armed
terrorists never arrive in London or Berlin because I have had to
live through a year of daily killings, rapes, tortures and maiming
of innocent people. It is the duty of President Bashar Al Asad to
defend the Syrian public from armed terrorist attacks.
Huberta and Sheila represent either the ignorance of two individuals
who know nothing about the true source of violence inside Syria,
or they represent two western women who are using their husband's
political positions to demand regime change in Syria.
Let us say that I hate Angela Merkel and David Cameron. Let us say my
political views are dead set against everything those two leaders stand
for. Should I then find funding for weapons and mercenary terrorists
and begin a campaign of terror inside Britain and Germany?
Or perhaps I should keep my money and weapons to myself and let the
British and German public decide who they want as their leader. What
gives Britain or Germany the right to impose regime change on 23
million Syrians?
Then we have that small minor detail of numbers. Of the 23 million
Syrian citizens, about 75% are in support of President Bashar Al Asad.
There are about 25% who are in opposition. Shall the "international
community' demand regime change when the majority of the citizens
do not ask for regime change? Wouldn't it make better sense to use
peaceful methods to negotiate political changes inside Syria, which
would eventually lead to greater freedom and democracy, and free,
open elections?
Syria was once one party rule. Everything was the Ba'ath party only.
If you were a communist, you went to jail. That has changed.
There are now 10 registered parties, including the communist party.
The nationwide municipal elections happened, without violence,
and in free and open conditions. Next month will be parliamentary
elections. Once the totally new parliament sits there will be new
laws and many changes, based on what the people want. The Syrian
people have found their voice and are not afraid to use it. The
totally new constitution was ratified by national election. There
is no emergency law in Syria. Opposition, even armed opposition,
was given amnesty (except in the case of murder). Protests were
made legal, but must be registered, just like the laws in western
countries covering demonstrations in public. The next Presidential
election is 2014. Hopefully by then the new freedoms and democracies
which have evolved here in Syria will have become entrenched and part
of daily life.
Democracy does not have to come from bloodshed and destruction. It is
possible to go from a political system of limited freedoms to a fully
free and democratic nation without regime change, mass destruction
and the slaughter of innocent civilians and soldiers. I am proud of
the Syrian first lady Asma Al Asad. She is a positive role model for
Syrian women and an educated and contributing member of Syrian society.
