So, how come we don’t have a few hundred tomahawks on cruise control to Syria?

That’s a revolution I can support. How much worse can Syria get?

That would be a bit of a more difficult no-fly zone to enforce.

Welp...that settles it...they’re being mean to their people—time to launch the tomahawks. Isn’t that the criteria now? In the meantime, we need to add North Korea and China—they’re mean too.

Israel needs to make a move now on Hamas. US tied up in Libya (I know, that’s hard to swallow). Syria having internal issues. Just add to the carnage and blend in.

The minority Alwawite regime knows that a successful revolution would likely to a massacre of Alawites. So it has no compunction about killing unarmed protesters to remain in power.

The army and the secret police will protect the regime because if it falls... bang, bang, bang - they’re dead.

The Alawis from mountainous Latakia on the coast of Syria north of Lebanon are a secretive heterodox sect that has beliefs and rituals considered heretical by mainstream Islam. But they pretend to be Shia Muslim when it suits them. They comprise 10% of Syria’s population and dominate the Ba’ath Party, army and secret police. The Assad regime has been in power for 40 years and is considered the most repressive regime in the Arab World.
