END THIS WAR: Yes, Let's Allow The Syrian People To Decide For Themselves...

[Dschrute3]

Great piece by Dr. Ron Paul.


Is common sense beginning to creep into US policy in the Middle East? Last week Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that the longer-term status of Syrian President Assad would be “decided by the Syrian people.” The media reported this as a radical shift in US foreign policy, but isn’t this just stating what should be obvious? What gives any country the right to determine who rules someone else? Washington is currently paralyzed by evidence-free rumors that the Russians somehow influenced our elections, but no one blinks an eye when Washington declares that one or another foreign leader “must go.”

It’s only too bad that President Obama hadn’t followed this back in 2011 instead of declaring that Assad had to go and then arming rebel groups who ended up being allies with al-Qaeda. Imagine how many thousands of lives and billions of dollars would have been saved by following this policy in the first place. Imagine the millions of refugees who could still be in their homes, running their businesses, living their lives.

Will the Trump Administration actually follow through on Tillerson’s Syria policy statement? It is too early to tell. The President has illegally sent hundreds of US troops to fight on the ground in Syria...

thanks for the article-------I did not know unil I read his article just how idiotically simple minded is RON PAUL------

The USA did not create Political upheaval or VIOLENCE in Syria-----sorry folks---
its been in a state of shake up --coup--blood in the streets---tyrannical rule--- for more than 65 years-------it got much worse due to RUSSIAN AND IRANIAN imperialist
ambition-----in the past decade. In fact the USA issue boils down to Russian and
Iranian imperialism-----of which the people of Syria are THE VICTIMS

US 'allies' like Saudi Arabia and Qatar armed ISIS in Syria. It's a horrific travesty. We need to get out of Syria immediately.

more simple minded stupidity. Qatar is a KNOWN supporter of Islamic terrorism
(as have been THE ASSADS and IRAN) Saudi Arabia -----disgusting as it is---does not ON THE GOVERNMENTAL level support Islamic terrorism-----its pious
citizens do--------in the form of ZAKAT for "noble jihadists"----who like to
blow lots of people to Jannah for Allah. The US has some strategic agreements
with the disgusting shariah shit hole----Qatar------for mutual benefit-----and also
with Saudi Arabia-----which on the governmental level is slightly more friendly that shit hole Qatar

LOL- the Syrian people tried to decide for themselves.

That is why they are in a Civil War.

Dictators don't allow their citizens to decide for themselves.

Paul is an idiot.

Syria was never a threat to the US. We don't belong there. It was never our war.

Yeah, we do seem to be doing too much bidding for Israel and Saudi Arabia over there. We've lost our independent foreign policy.
