Why wont obama get involved in syria?

Thousands of civilians are dying. The arab emirates or the EU or NATO have not done anything. the US could put an end to the conflict in short order without putting soldiers on the ground. This bloody civil war has been going on for more than a year, i understand obama does not want to take chances this close to the election but **** he is our president first right? The war is effecting iran,israel, and every other arab nation in the region and that region is not very stable at all. We have done it before we can do it again, tens of thousands of civilians dead, why will obama not intervene?

Update:

Well of course they would make a political point out of it, Its political! I mean **** you cannot pick and choose, the killing of our ambassador is a political point because it involves our foreign policy and our embassy security.

    People tie the Arab spring to things: do not like, they fear, or have interest in. Arab spring is where normal Arab people rebelled against corruption, discrimination, opportunistic, living under slavery of dictators and their families and relatives. Arab spring has nothing to do with the outside world or others outside the Arab states except oppositions living in exile/s. The Arab spring has nothing to do with religions and religious issues. Arabs, for the first time, were able through the web such as facebook and Twitter to organize large demonstrations against Dictators.

    • First : (TUNISIA)

    Arab Spring started in Tunisia:

    Google: mohamed bouazizi

    • Last : (SYRIA)

    Because of the extreme fear and intimidation Syrians lived with for 42 years. Under the same illegal, racial, criminal, most ugly regime in the world. The last Arab state that joined the Arab spring was Syria.The last uprising against this regime was in the 1982. The last Illegal president Hafez Assad and his brother killed 40.000 Syrians to appease them and destroyed the city of Hamah.

    Google : Hamah city,

    The current uprising started In the Syrian city of Dara’a on the border with Jordan. Where kids, influenced by the TV’s news of the Arab spring in other Arab states, wrote things on walls where the kids were forcefully taken from their parents, imprisoned, tortured, their nails were taken off, and at the beginning refused to free them under any circumstances. As a result their parents rebelled and some of them were shot died by the regime. This resulted the uprising to start and escalate in many other areas of Syria.

    For many months, the regime as used to in the last 42 years, used extreme force, torture, and direct killing against peaceful protestors and accused them of all kind of bad accusations such as Al-Qaeda&Terrorists. The same way Quelled them in the last 42 years of tutoring under the lie that the regime was fighting Israel and America where anybody opposed that lie was taken, tortured, considered traitor and executed. They banned all kind of media from entering Syria and converted Syria into a large prison. All that resulted in the escape of soldiers with their arms from the army and established small armed groups to protect civilians. Later, armed struggle against the regime started after months of daily killing of civilians and no help of any kind from outside Syria.

    Now over 35.000 Civilians were killed and still is rising, 100s of thousands in prisons, women have been raped by the regime, Kids and babies have been slaughtered, millions fled the country, cities have been destroyed by most sophisticated arms. The Syrian regime even, have been bullying, harassing, and threatening Syrians and/or others around the world who opposed. Still there is nobody really helping to stop the massacres until now.

    Google: The Syrian Revolution (English) | Facebook - (Includes massacre’s photos)

    Al-Ba’ath party has 2 branches, one ruling Syria under Al-Assad and the other was ruling Iraq under Saddam Husain with the same ideology and ideas.

    The Syrian story started with the father (Hafez Assad) who came from the poor Alawis sect village (Qardaha) on the Syrian coast. He wanted to study medicine but he couldn’t because he was too poor. He went to the military school and later he and his colleagues in Al-Ba’ath party in November 1970 illegally and forcefully overthrew the government and took over the power in Syria. Then, Assad imprisoned those colleagues until they died in prisons and controlled Syria alone with his family and made Syria the only Apartheid Arab state. Sectarians Alawis from Qardaha and other Alawis villages invaded the Syrian cities like Locusts and controlled all kind of high positions in Syria. The way they speak has a tune and some special words and this distinguished them. Syrians feared them to death whenever they are because they know that they are above the law. Directly after Hafez Assad passed away, the constitution was altered and his son Bashar inherited illegally the presidency of Syria and the regime remained the same. Now, Al-Assad family and cousins and relatives control absolutely everything in Syria, and they became one of the richest worldwide and that is one reason why they do not want to leave power.

    The other reason is that they are sectarians Alawis, a religious group who follow the Shi’a (Iran) in Islam; and that why Iran and Hezbollah are unconditionally supporting them. Iran has been influencing Russia and china in the UN and supplying Assad with arms and Iranian soldiers. Iranian official said: the victory of Assad is the victory of Iran.

    Syrians have lived under Marshal laws for 41 years. Now, They are left alone to die. (Assad=Hitler)'s regime has been taking advantage of the careless and reluctant Arab and international situation and has been dropping TNT barrels & Cluster bombs on civilians and committing genocide. The current Holocaust is going on in Syria.

    Don't you really know?S****

    It's very clear & you're not bright,

    It's not hard just think about Why he wont get involved?

    because Russia and China would not allow that european countries and America to military involvment in syria,

    America is powerless against Russia & China,

    Remember when protests was in Libya,All countries agreed to intervene militarily,How was Ghadafi at last?

    But now when Russia & China agree to intervene so Assad will disappear & if not America have nothing to do,

    I'm an iranian It's right iran support them & it's not good,But you must blame Russia & China,

    If all countries want to intervene military, What can iran do?

    We don't have the right to veto but China & Russia have,

    Source(s): When you have the right to veto,you must wait to use it against you too,

    ok in the starting up, what Daniel suggested is 100% incorrect. i'd comprehend because i'm Syrian and performance kinfolk struggling with contained in the free Syrian military. second, the U. S. is sending satellite tv for pc counsel about authorities troop stream to the FSA. They allow us to set up an place of work in Washington to relay counsel to the FSA in Syria. My cousin works in that place of work. except that, the U. S. has no longer performed something. They have not despatched guns, troops, or the communications kit that they promised.

    Getting involved in another war is not likely to end well. The fact is he can't start another war because of war exhaustion. It would also give republicans too much ammunition against him because everyone knows they will try to make a political point out of it.

    Ask yourself why France, England, Germany, Canada, Russia, China, Sweden, etc. don't get involved. Ask yourself why you think America needs to get involved while everyone else stays out of it.
