There are innocent men, women and children over there dying. If that means we have to go over there to save the day, so be it.

If I were in their shoes, I'd be on my knees begging to God for someone to come & save me. Don't act like you wouldn't.

They know no one is going to magically appear and save them. That's why they risking their lives at sea trying to reach Europe or walking to bordering nations. The more countries that intervene the more bombs fall from the sky. No one should have got involved in the first place, if the whole world sat back including the Jihadis and let the Syrians handle their own war, it probably would have been over by now.

This would have been over in 2011 if it just stayed at protestors vs. the government during the Arab spring.

But the Saudis had to send cash and weapons to the salafi groups and the moderate groups, the Iranians and Russians have been supporting Assad, the US trained rebels in Jordan back in 2010-2012, the Turks made the border porous on purpose so that Assad can be removed and a Ikhwan inspired govt would come in Damascus

Too many hands in the kitchen and everyone is getting cut.

Syria isn't going to recover for a long time. If the Russians do prevail, they know Assad can't rule over the whole country and will pressure him to do a deal.

But after a while will that collapse? And a new civil war begins..

here's my take.

its CIVIL WAR. did the world intervene when America had their North vs SOUTH? not really.

well at least not to our basic knowledge.

so that says to me. just because some country is going thru a rough patch of civil war in 2013, doesnt mean you should go messsing with them. let them sort it out.

and think of it like this. some will say but but but they have chemical weapons and more powerful weapons. true. SO... What... thats just the days we live in. things are different. the PEOPLE also have an advantage called the internet and cell phones. the people can be more organized now then they ever could back in civil war times. so it goes both ways.

now the truth of the matter is other countries did stick their nose in the american civil war. we just rarely talk about it. so again if it can happen for us, we should be able to help a side out in 2013. no difference.

Civil War sponsored by the US. Look man, some countries need dictators, their's no other way when you got Islam involved, if you ain't choppin heads and gassin' nikkaz, terrorists don't fear you. You need to leave sh*t alone. Is Libya better now? Iraq? Egypt? I don't see who Arab Spring benefited. Let Assad stay and let Syria go back to being the peaceful country it was before this mess. Not every country is ready for democracy :snoop:

It doesn't make sense for Iran and Russia to be wasting all these resources on a failed dictator, the Iranians specially are even taking casualties in this war. They would rather Assad rule 30% of Syria than have a hostile Syria post Assad. They are in a pretty trick situation now and they know it. There is no turning back.

He says...
wars dont fit in a neat little package for your simple minds

And follows it up with...
assad had been killing innocents from day 1
:pachaha:

Is there any oil in Syria?
yes and a lot of it is currently being exracted and sold to gulf states - by isis. I doubt anyone will even dare to consider placing sanctions on any of these countries.

Oil isn the most important thing though. Its mostly about building a gas pipeline through syria from the gulf (qatar) to europe and cutting off russia. Assad already turned down that proposal around the time he started killing his own people for no apparent reason and a bunch of rebels/terrorists turned up

FRANKLY... I'm tired of the US getting dragged into war or being in places where they dont belong. Let china and russia deal with the middle east, let them deal with ISIS, BOKO haram and the terrorist attacks and death to america chants let them be the world's policemen...

Frankly its tiring its the same shyt different day... it never changes...:francis:

Salafis need dictators, brutal ones. America needs to let Russia do its thing and not lift a finger to help these Al Qaeda minded c*nts. Even the so called moderates are nothing more than AQ proxies.

If the US does anything it should be to ignore Russian and Syrian brutality and let them finish this off. Arming the terror groups as it has been wherever directly or not will only prolong this mess and destabilize Europe further more.

Helping the jihadists will be yet another Afghanistan, we're creating a new generation of bin ladens and we pretend like we dunno anything about it.

It's like we want the jihadists to prevail in order to invade in 5 years and control the gas pipelines while having israels back.
