With more and more people being kill by the Syrian government it is now time for NATO and the Arab League to change the government in Syria using military forces. Would this go as well as it has in Libya? What would the Russians do? How would the Arabs see Turkey attacking another Arab nation? I don't want to go into Syria, because it will be a huge cockup like Iraq, my hope it that if we do, it will be Arab and Turkish troops being killed and not Americans, Europeans, Australians, Canadians or New Zealanders. Also the Italians, Spanish, Greeks, British and French don't have the supplies or the money to do another 6 months of air strikes, and I don't really want the US to be involved.
I work for missioner in Russia. I know that Russia has war base in Syria. Russia and Syria are old partners. Russian government wants to atop bloodshed in Syria, but they speaks against intervention. According to international laws, we must respect soveregnty of Syrian state. Both police and rebels are dying in fights in Syria. Russia must become a pacifier in this conflict.
Well, unless you have joined the military since the last time we talked, I seriously doubt you would be going anywhere.
Do we even have any interests such as oil in Syria that we care about? If not I say let em fight it out themselves.
Pointless. Let them do it themselves. We do not need to intervene in any world affairs when we can not even manage our own countries. The people of the world can not take any more war. Also all of this Arabic revolution is their revolution and it is their fight. We should choose our path carefully because we do not need to set precedents. The US is very powerful but we are becoming an abusive monster and what do we do when the UN wants to send in peacekeepers foe the OWS (*)(*)(*)(*)?
We should talk to the Russians about regime-change in that country. We may be able to convince them that supplying the protesters with weapons and supporting an internal revolution with an aerial campaign may be in their best interests.
