The cosmic war on Syria   

Al Arabiya TV - 31 July, 2012
Author: Hazem Saghieh

When Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem talks from Tehran about a “cosmic war on Syria” he adds a new word to our vocabulary for "cosmic" is definitely much more intense than "international" or "global." The word "cosmic" transcends countries, policies and interests to denote an existential concept that springs from the essence of things. Therefore, a "cosmic" war would undoubtedly be much fiercer than the two World Wars of the past century.
