Interviews from Washington DC - The Syrian Conflict

In today’s program Jorge Gestoso asks Peter Certo of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) why he said that military intervention in Syria is the problem, not the solution, and why he said that Isis is the result of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The interview goes into the role of Saudi Arabia, the U.S. establishment press, the war machine, Islamophobia and the Syrian refugee crisis. Most of the people fleeing ISIS in Syria are Muslims, says our guest, debunking the theory of the Clash of Civilizations. What would a political solution look like? For starters, an arms embargo, says Certo. teleSUR
