Do you support US involvement on the ground in Syria?

The Obama administration is actually against placing any U.S. ground troops in Syria, but they are very busy trying to convince Russia's current President Dmitri Medvedev and current Prime Minister, hardliner Vladimir Putin to convince Syria's leader Bashar al-Assad to, first and foremost, stop slaughtering civilians and then to consider stepping down from power---maybe in retirement with wealth intact. The U.S. does not wish to back possible extremists among the opposition, which is why we have not been supplying weapons to the rebels--at least not overtly. The 13 nations of the United Arab League have asked the United Nations (UN) to sanction al-Assad and to call for his resignation, something with which the U.S. and our allies concur.

Syria's strategic importance stems from its location that makes Syria the meeting point of three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe) and a crossroads between the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Nile. The population of Syria is reported to be 90% Muslim, with 74% of that Sunni Muslims), and their current President Assad has the backing of Iran's President Ahmadinejad and Russia's leaders Medvedev and Putin. Because of this support, I do not support on-ground troops from the U.S. at all, but I do favor the ongoing efforts by the Obama administration to convince both Ahmadinejad and Russian leaders Medvedev and Putin to support the peaceful resignation of the person against whom the Syrian citizens rebel, Bashar al-Assad.

On the grounds that politics is a chance. The U.S, UK, and France are just like the influential humans. They are the people keeping a lot of money with various matters at stake. They as an alternative play it trustworthy. Consider about it, if US intervene, then all people can be like, "omg, stupid americans...Consistently commencing wars". The us would unfastened its have an effect on over other international locations. It can be rather similar to a power struggle. And, politics just isn't that effortless. It is the truth that China and Russia are additionally large gamers within the gamble and if US goes against them then the united states and Russia relationship or the united states China relationship might weaken. Alliances are predominant. It does now not do good to have China and Russia in your dangerous side. Nevertheless; Israel does not care. They don't seem to be influential and most international locations particularly don't care if israel is on their part. They do not care to have issues with israel. But US is most important. They are like the "tremendous brother". If united statesdoes something, then every body will both strongly agree or strongly disagree.

Nope. Nor do I support an air campaign or the giving of weapons systems to the Syrian 'freedom fighters'. I didn't agree with doing this in Libya either. In this part of the world, all you're doing is trading one whack job for another whack job and in the end, all you have is a whack job. Really? What have you accomplished? I was dumbfounded by this whole euphoria over the 'Arab Spring'. It is as though in the last ten, twenty or thirty years we'd never 'met' these people! The people in the middle east know no other form of government other than murderous tyranny. It's been that way for tens of thousands of years. How incredibly stupid to think that that would suddenly change when absolutely nothing in the underlying culture or mindset has changed.

Personally I do not support any US involvement in Syria with out Congressional approval. If it is voted on and approved then yes I would support it (maybe not agree with it, but support it until it changed)

No. i want to see the Saudis or Jordanians step up and take care of it. Sending a bunch of English speaking an American troops will not help with the regions stability

No, not unless presented before congress, voted on, approved by the president and a declaration of war made. I disagree with all unlawful wars that the US partakes in!

Nope

No. They have plenty of neighbors with good military forces who would be doing something about it if they thought there was a need. It is really none of our business.

No, i find it hypocritical that we want to help. Atrocities have happened and will happen and we wont get involve.

No. Anyone remember Vietnam?
