Russia and China should abdicate their responsibilities at the UN and leave. We know they are both backstabbing thieves who hope to overthrow our position in democratic development of the world. Nevermind that theirs has oppressed their peoples yet while as corrupted ours is, we still have rights and liberities the people of those countries desire more than even they realize.
While we can say that and I admire your enthusiasm ....but because of our responsibility, we simply must not go in half cocked like Bush fell into. The USSR has a naval port there with observers who I hope lose it when the government is overthrown. I do encourage the syrians to rebel against this terrorist leader Assad and his supporting barbarians. If you're thinking of using drones even that is an act of war with consequences for us everywhere. We are not the unjust, which is why we have a U.N.
If this conflict really does harbor significant regional risk why, once again, are the compassionate, the charitable, the devout Muslims waiting for the rest of the world (especially non-Muslims) to step up? Billions spent on the purchase of arms and not one country in the region makes a move?
What should we learn (again and again) from that?
Commercial satellites are positioned on Syria: the results should be interesting. Syria is slightly smaller than Montana ... the whole world -- even school kids -- are wondering why, in 2012, this rampant slaughter and crime is allowed to go on and on in Syria. Letting Assad and his regime get away with gruesome mass murder over and over and over again means we haven't learned a thing.
Haven't learned a thing? Do you mean since Rwanda, South Sudan, Serbia, etc, etc, etc? The thing to learn is that ONLY when it is in anyone's inescapable best interests will action take place, and that has NOTHING to do with human life or it's loss. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Auschwitz.

Russia is standing firm with the excuse that they were sold a no fly zone in Libya and ultimately got regime change. China is more or less along for the ride.
For the most part Russia is correct. Although they complained early on as if they didn't know what a no fly zone entailed. Ultimately NATO sat back for months and watched a stalemate develop - then we acted to end the thing. Apparently Russia wanted something different...
Anyhow this is about contracts and the fact that Russia does not really have a lot of allies. Under Putin even less. The list is less than impressive, and must at some point be embarrassing. But nonetheless they cannot afford to lose the allies they have.
