Biggest risk to National Security? attacking #Syria
Want to see a real threat to our national security? Then unilaterally attack Syria.
We seem to have forgotten the entangled alliances and political fumbling that caused the First World War. A local incident spread until more than 30 countries were enmeshed in war. There are many parallels today with conflicts between US and Russia, West vs Islam, Sunni and Shia, Israel and Iran. The opportunities for escalation in the region are endless; and the US involving itself in a civil war, taking the same side as al Qaeda, is surreal.
Semi-suicidal Israeli interests want the US to drive this conflict into a regional war which will involve Iran. No rational person wants this to happen.
A year ago I thought Romney would blunder us into a World War. It seems the blunders were foreordained however, and the figurehead is irrelevant. The risks to both US interests and world peace are staggering: we must tell Congress SAY NO.
