(2,730 posts)of Americans who are very well educated and intelligent, that cannot be fooled by propaganda or rhetoric. A lot of people in this country don't buy into religious extremism either. The Turkish Prime minister is a bias participant in this War. His country has a stake in Syria with the Kurdish populations in Syria,Iraq and Iran. he wants to carve out an independant subserviant client state. That is his real reason for wanting to see Syria divided. The Kurds in Iraq are already more favorable to Turkey than they are to Iraq. Especially with oil resources. Turkey is the same country that invaded Cyprus. So whatever statements he makes publicly in his rants, intelligent people know what he is doing under the table. There is also a nuclear issue with Turkey on their soil. He is not interested in the human rights of people. His real interests are power and influence. That includes resources.
You say the end is near for Assad, or is some people getting desperate because things aren't turning out the way they schemed? I'm referring to the attack from Israel backfiring regarding public opinion in the region. The prime minister of Turkey, was not the only leader in the Middle East to make public statements today. There were statements from the Arab League including Iraq and Iran's military leaders. I'm not talking about the political leaders but the military leaders. I think some people will get what they ask for in this push to War.
This conflict is not about just Assad but something bigger. These sides are lining up and their positions are hardening for whatever causes they believe in dying for. War is not to be toyed with and it is not a joke. The same idiots in Washington that gave us Iraq and that mess in Afghanistan is at it again. Those fools can't help themselves. The U.N. is impedent because they can't even prevent this War. You have idiots that are drunk with power and their delusions of grandeur. It is more evidence of the fault in man. One of my favorite Documentary films is the fall of the Third Reich. I find documentaries in History very enlightening, because it exposes how fools repeat the same mistakes. Apparently they weren't as super as they thought.
