(2,730 posts)leading Germany is from the right of the political spectrum and a ally of Obama and the leaders of Britain and France. She is only promising anything except weapons, because she has opposition in her Country. She is just a token to put on a united face.
The real culprits in the West are the governments of the US, Britain, and France. If you want to break it even further down, there is more opposition from the opposite political Party in Britain with public backing. So Cameron is even more restricted than the others.
Obama has most of Congress behind him with his yes people in the Democratic Party. As long as they pacify the populace with Domestic issues, than they are free to cause mischief on Foreign policy under the cloak of National Security. The only people causing a fuss are the fringes in both Parties. You got people on the Far left siding with people like Rand Paul on this issue. I never imagined myself agreeing with Rand Paul on anything.
The remaining Governments for the friends of Syria are obvious. The title Friends of Syria is a cover for themselves taking over and bringing Syria under their own influence. Syria will lose its identity and become a vassal state, ruled by puppets. Saudi Arabia and Jordan are monarchies bought to power by Britain. Egypt and Turkey are authoritarian states controlled by religious ideology of the most extreme factions of Islam. The minority groups in both countries don't have freedoms. Coptic Christians use to come on this Forum arguing about religious oppression from the Muslim Brotherhood. That has been placed on the back burner with Syria. The same is happening in Turkey with the Kurds.
