Bashar Al-Assad is a menace to the plan of middle east peace. Since the arab spring came to his country, it has stalled, leaving behind an empty shell of a country, and over 60,000 dead since 2011. It is a mystery to this blogger how he has managed to hang on to power, but I say that it should stop here. The US has failed time and time again to stop mass civilian deaths in the past. What ever happened to all our concern for Darfur and Sudan?
This is not a fair fight. Assad has planes, tanks, and high-grade rockets, while the people he mows down have nothing more than trucks, and AK 47's. We can do more, and we should do more. Sanctions do nothing, and it's time for real action. Work with the rebel government, and help to foster in a new government in Syria. One that will appreciate us for helping them.
These opinions may be taken lightly by some. But mark my words, humanity is a powerful thing. If we all come together, and let congress know that now is the time, more than ever, to act, then we can get the full support of our country. And then, we will be the change that we wish to see in the world.
Sincerely,
K
