This is a President's prerrogative. Why is US preventing this to happen?
- cmurf 10y agoSyria's Constitution makes the country a single party system. Assad is a dictator. There's nothing democratic about its government. It's a family dictatorship. The people wanted their ouster, Assad refused to go and lit the stables on fire in a huge fuck you to the whole country.
- meira 10y agoThe people elected recently a parlament that supports Assad, which was also elected by vote. I don't see a good reason given for US to go there, fund ISIS and screw half a dozen of countries.
- cmurf 10y agoHow do people have fair elections in the middle of a war zone with a single political party as the option? The entire opposition boycotted the election. What is your point in even bringing up such a obvious sham of an election? And which half a dozen countries are you talking about exactly, that aren't already screwed? I'm a non-interventionist myself, but it isn't an absolute position. Accepting years long conflict isn't good for anyone either.
- meira 10y agoUS elections are also totally biased, all media is bashing Trump and supporting Hillary. How do people have fair election there? Should China and Rússia intervene?
- littletimmy 10y agoIf that is the only reason, why isn't the US also acting against Saudi Arabia? It is a repressive monarchy. Coming to think of it, the US resembles an oligarchy more than anything else. Perhaps Russia should start arming rebels in the US?
