It is just one stage in establishing a powerful Muslim Empire that would stretch from the Hebrides to Tasmania.

If the Sunnis and Shiites want to kill each other should we get involved?

All these Arabs are fighting for is way to bring their form of Islamic government into power. Case closed.

“The brutal response of the security forces against initially peaceful protests demanding democratic reform and end of repression triggered a violent reaction”

LOL. The neocons planned regime change in 5 or 6 countries after 9/11. That’s widely known and discussed. WikiLeaks already exposed Bush era emails from USAID to State suggesting ways to exploit political factions in Syria.
The CIA began to execute these plans in the Obama years.

This isn’t some just response to some natural peaceful protest. We were there at the creation of it, organizing and carefully funding.

This is a little more than a bar brawl that will spill out into the street. And yes, I wish we didn’t have to be there either. But we are. Since WWII.

Cutting and running, isn’t going to do us any favors. The last guy tried that and it didn’t work out so well.

I agree. Let ‘em kill each other. It’s not like this a conflict between Jeffersonian liberty lovers and islamic thugs. They’re all islamic thugs.

Detailed and poignant. When dealing with complex systems that have no hope of ever working as desired, I present an RCA that demands the replacement or removal of root cause...

Eliminate the teaching of islam and its foundation of evil and make society great again.

If they would stop killing Christians, we’d have no reason to care anymore.

The only thing protecting Christians in Syria is Assad.

If any of the rebel groups take power, the Christians will be slaughtered.

Besides Islam itself, I have been doing some reading on the interactions between the Muslims in places like Tunisia, Iraq,Egypt, Turkey and other Muslim countries.

The amount of back stabbing,outright killing of other Muslims,the quests for different types of Govts from Sharia to secular, to democratic etc is staggering.

I believe it is an unsolvable problem to form a stable type of Government for the various Muslim groups inside any Muslim country.
The treachery and hatred among Muslims to each other is so high it is hard for a non Muslim like me to comprehend.

Surprisingly this is good for us Kafirs as it keeps the Muslims off balance, and from doing what I think Muslims should do and follow what Muhammad did, and what ISIS is doing right now.

Syria is a mess for the Muslims and we have to conduct ourselves so we don't give the Muslims a chance to organize against us Kafirs. -Tom

With the Muslims fighting each other, the less likely.

The war was launched by the Turks, Saudis, Qataris, and Obama’s State Department. It has killed half a million people. Its purpose was to bring down Assad. To do that, they recruited jihadis from around the middle east and from muslim populations in the west. The result is that, aside from destroying Syria, they have committed genocide against non-muslim populations that have been there for 2 thousand years.

The rebels are Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Of course they are.

You just don't like what they will do, once they are free to do it.
