Everyone knows that Obama is now adding military option against Syria if the conflict does not resolve or President Assad does not step down.
President Obama is not thinking about this and he is acting very similar to President Bush. Many of you will think that this is not similar to President Bush invading Iraq, but it is.
I do not think that we have the right to intervene into the Civil War of another nation. Anyways, if we help these rebels (militarily( who is to say they will not turn on us once like many of Shiite Muslims in Iraq. However, not all of them have turned on us, but definitely the radical side of them that has a similar outlook to the rulers of Iran. President Obama and Democrats in the end did not support the invasion of Iraq and criticize Bush for the war. However, they all think that it is okay to invade Syria.
The situation in Syria is worse then the one in Iraq in 2003. The reasons why:
- It is a Civil War between a group of people (rebels) and the government. The rebels are tired of the government they view as tyrannical. They say they want more rights, but who knows it could be like Egypt in the future where it actually gets more strict, but under Sunni rule.
- Yes, the conflict may be causing mass amounts of refugees, but in what war has there been no refugees? Yes, countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and other countries are having problems with refugees, but that is nothing new when it comes to war. Those people are the ones that deserve to have food and aid. On the other hand, the rebels are violent and once again we do not know if they will turn on us once they have won the war.
- Russia and China have valuable reasons for other countries not to invade into the Syrian conflict and they could pose big problems to the U.S. if we decide to invade. Furthermore, Russian troops (minimal) are already on ground in Syria, helping President Assad gain control over Syria again. If we invade to help the rebels we will be fighting a proxy war with the Russian military. That will make relations with the Russians even worse. I guess we could use Syria as a means of getting back in China for causing that conflict with Japan, but still not wise to invade.
Once again are dear President and Congress is going to refuse to listen to the American people. He refused to listen on the Healthcare Bill and now he is not going to listen to the American people again. We should stay out of it all together and not make the decision to join a side. Right now no one knows who is the lesser of two evils. In the end, it looks like Obama wants to support rebels who eat soldiers hearts to send a message.
