[QUOTE="Jacanuk"] Wont let what happen? the islamic terrorists taking over? because how would US prevent it? we all know how well it went in Afghanistan, and US/Obama cant afford another long term ground campaign, which no other western nation have in mind. Also the chemical attack seems way to convenient for the terrorists, so i am not 100% convinced that it was Assad, the place and when it happened just seems insanely stupid, even for Assad. deeliman

The U.S. would prevent it by having a pretty hard say in the matter of who controls the country. Obviously this would be expensive (yes, we could afford it, but we'd prefer not to), and why the U.S. was a quite reluctant to get involved in the first place (along w/ Russia wanting their boy Assad to stick around), but it's getting past the point of tolerability.

There should be a bit of news coming out shortly WRT who was responsible for chemical weapons usage.

Because hundreds of thousands of people are getting killed with no end in sight. This is very, very simple.

I've seen quite a few Russian journalists over there.

It makes sense. Russian journalists would probably be biased towards Assad while Western journalists would more likely be biased against him.

[QUOTE="Jacanuk"] Of course i am aware of that. Still when the attack comes and US have destroyed Assad, i hope Obama and the west is happy when 6months down the line the islamic terrorist are in control of 90% of the country and we have a new Taliban.Jacanuk

Well, realistically, they (Brobama et co.) won't let that happen either. OFC, they wanted to avoid this altogether, but the situation isn't exactly seeming like that can be a viable option.

Well, it's there. IDK if you can't read or if you need a dictionary.

You are aware, yes, that the reason that the U.S. hasn't gotten involved thus far to any tangible extent is the problem with who some of the rebels are?

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] Where did i say that? I never said they havent lost anything or sacrificed anything yet. I just believe that this is their battle and they should finish it on their own. The revolution should be their own, and the leader who steps in after should be their own, not one appointed by the US. They have suffered but this victory needs to be thier own.Jacanuk

if you leave them on their own, they will lose or the country will be a war zone for years, Iran and Russia have no problem supporting Assad.

now that is fine, nobody is forcing the west to help, but one should be aware of a consequences of the decision not to help

If he was a stabilizing force, Syria wouldn't be in the position it is.

Maybe you are confused. That is not what I am.BranKetra
