All it would take to make Syria a no-fly zone is one carrier battle group. No way a country with an economy smaller than Italy’s and a population smaller than Pakistan’s is going to take the USA on in a serious confrontation. But that’s not enough. We have to realize that the real enemy is Assad, not ISIS or AQ. He’s the enemy because he is Iran’s only real ally in the Arab Middle East. Get rid of Assad (and he’s a bloody butcher who deserves whatever fate awaits him) and Iran and their enforcer Russia are cut off and horribly embarrassed. Time to step up.
You would risk war with Russia over an issue that the average American is less passionate about than the new Halloween Whopper at Burger King?
Who is going to fight that war, You? American’s for the most part have ZERO interest in Syria or who rules it.
Welcome to FR. Now STFU. Assad a bloody butcher? He’s fighting a legitimate war to defend the legitimate government of Syria. The enemy rapes, kills, beheads, and crucifies opponents just for fun. And eats babies. And for breakfast? Tall, cold glass of blood.
