IMHO, I think the issues are far beyond economics, politics, religion or morality.
I suspect the major power players are so power hungry, they are positioning themselves to be the AntiChrist, and they really, really, really think they can win.
To some extent you might be right, but I think it’s much simpler than that. IF Assad falls, the Middle East Gas Oil etc goes to Europe and Russia over night is weakened. Why else would Syria matter?
It explains too why the Saudi’s seem to control us.
This isn’t a done deal as you know....they are forgetting the Muslim Brotherhood, Jihadists, and Rebels....all who fight to keep the International Community engaged UNTIL they “do something”.
And where is Israel now in this? With threats coming from the rebels they will gas them. One thing all the International Leaders fail to do is hear what the terrorists say...they generally follow up on what they say they are going to do.
If Israel is attacked from any thing coming from Syria....Damascus will be leveled by someone.
