So as we start another open ended war with yet another Arab country, yet again with no actual idea of how we will actually make this work,
(As opposed to all our other endless wars in the middle east which are going just so well), perhaps we should maybe ask a few questions:
Starting a war just to prove you are tougher than the last president may sound good to certain people, once you openly start bombing another country, (as opposed to arming and funding rebels under the pretense of "fighting terrorists") it rarely is something you can just walk away from, and it seems we have no actual idea of where this is going than the rest of the wars we are waging.
Was any research done to see who actually might have benefited from the chemical attack? Seems Assad would have little to gain, and it would not be any more strategically useful than what a couple barrel bombs could do.
So what's the plan for Syria, I'm guessing it's going to be like the rest of our plans.... let Saudi funded Sunni extremists slaughter everybody who isn't a Wahhabist while saying that's too bad... and not lifting a finger to stop it... (Did we do a single thing to stop the ISIS slaughter of the Yatzis in Iraq?)
Then after you put in some western puppet stooge that's a traitor to their own people as the "leader" the whole thing falls apart and turns into another Sunni islamist chaos state where every bad actor can have all the fun they want.... oh and of course make enemies out of a couple generations of more people and then bleat on talk shows about why do they hate us?
Maybe if someone actually put forward a plan to accept nothing less than a proper democratic state with true freedom of religion (including.... GASP the freedom to convert from Islam to Christianity), actual human rights (including perhaps you know that Women are actually people), Actual democracy where people can actually vote freely for their government (you know instead of just from a few brutal warlords who made a deal with the CIA). Perhaps a plan to actually set them up with a decent army that does something other than oppress the locals, maybe a police force that doesn't condone kidnapping and keeping little boys as sex slaves while we shut down anyone who objects to it...
So any plan other than get rid of the current government, turn the country over to Islamic extremists to do a full ethnic cleansing and mass genocide (but don't worry they will use bullets, bulldozers, bombs, burning etc.. but will keep their chemical weapons to just Chlorine gas for their genocide.) Then somehow hope for the best? Maybe after they kill everyone they don't like the extremists will suddenly become all nice and friendly?
Good luck!
