It's all over the Internet, Mr. President.
Bashar al-Assad, Syria's despotic ruler has sent the army to quell dissent.
Just like Gaddafi.
Maybe President Obama, undeserved Peace Prize in hand, will order Assad's palace bombed as he did Gaddafi's home.
After all, Syria has even less strategic value to the U.S. and its European hangers-on than Libya.
This, Mr. President, is the Syria you push Israel to return strategic heights, heights from which your Syrian friends will once again shell Israel.
This is the Syria that raped Lebanon.
This is the Syria that hid Saddam's weapons of mass destruction that disappeared from Iraq while your predecessor Bush II diddled and fiddled trying to get a "free world" consensus.
But, for all that, Syria is NOT, repeat NOT a U.S. problem.
Maybe France, which once claimed to control it, might take action.
The U.S. is not popular with Syrians, neither pro-government or anti-government.
For the U.S. to interfere in Syria's civil strife would be foolish; a lose-lose situation - JUST LIKE LIBYA.
Take a lesson from Israel - stay out of Arab nations' domestic problems.
We understand you are a Moslem disguised as a Christian, but that does NOT give you carte blanc to send Americans into harms way.
Yes, you have the authority to send in troops sans Congressional approval, but you were billed as an intelligent leader - neither trait, intelligence nor leadership has been shown since you moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. You don't have Congressional support; you don't have popular support.
If you MUST attack Syria as you foolishly attack Libya, may I suggest you send in only Muslim troops, assuming you can field even a Company of Muslims in all of the U.S. services.
Libya is not a U.S. concern.
Syria is not a U.S. concern; it has even less political and strategic value than Libya.
The U.S., because it lacks people on the ground to understand the locals and who understand both the language and the mentality, has no clue who it should support - assuming it needs to support one side over the other.
