So 90% of the American people want NO military action in Syria, but President Obama, it seems, is intent on doing just this. This will be very bad for the whole region, though. Here is a likely scenario:
In fact, it is being reported that cruise missile strikes could begin "as early as Thursday".
The Obama administration is pledging that the strikes will be
"limited", but what happens when the Syrians fight back? What happens
if they sink a U.S. naval vessel or they have agents start hitting
targets inside the United States? Then we would have a full-blown war
on our hands. And what happens if the Syrians decide to retaliate by
hitting Israel? If Syrian missiles start raining down on Tel Aviv,
Israel will be extremely tempted to absolutely flatten Damascus, and
they are more than capable of doing precisely that. And of course
Hezbollah and Iran are not likely to just sit idly by as their close
ally Syria is battered into oblivion.
We are looking at a scenario
where the entire Middle East could be set aflame, and that might only be
just the beginning. Russia and China are sternly warning the U.S.
government not to get involved in Syria, and by starting a war with
Syria we will do an extraordinary amount of damage to our relationships
with those two global superpowers. (From HERE)
Grim stuff. Instability is already spilling from Syria into Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon. But that can be contained. This, however, would be a game changer, and certainly not in a good way. America needs to stay out of Syria. Totally and completely. Just send tents and food for women and children refugees (not men), and don't resettle ANY of them in North America or Europe. That is my advice.
