So the US is being accused of killing 8 people inside of Syria. The Syrian government wants an apology while the US State Department and the White House refuse to confirm the attack. Unnamed US officials claim the attack killed an Iraq Al-Qaeda chief. Syria is an "ally" we have been hearing for years that large amounts of weapons and fighters have been crossing into Iraq from Syria. this is a tricky situation no?
Obviously we can't expect Syria to be able to STOP the border crossings completely. Look at how good a job our government does trying to keep Mexicans out of here. They surely don't have the impetus to take on such a large mission. Plus such a large outward cooperation with the US would only make them a target too.
So the US has to decide if they are going to take matters into their own hands or not. Killing Syrians in Syria is gonna do one thing for sure. Make Syrians and other US haters pretty fuckin mad. Killing this one guy is definitely not gonna stop the influx of fighters or weapons. So really what's the point?
It seems to me that all this does is inflame tensions and put a very temporary and small dent in the Al-Qaeda power. I won't pretend I know how to solve this problem but I surely recognize that cross border raids which result in collateral deaths is NOT the answer. What should be done about this??
And why haven't John-John Phenomenon or Barock the Vote mentioned this at all? (or have they)
What do EWE Think?
