I had already taken a stance on this problem on my blog page. In this response, I will maintain my position on the crisis, but incorporate new details since more news has been released since I posted my original one.
Following in the footsteps of many other Arab Countries like Egypt, Syria's public has been rallying for a revolution. They are tired of the corruption in the government and want political freedom. The LAN (Leauge of Arab Nations) propsed a plan when I wrote my original blog stating the current president should step down and let the Vice President transition the country into a democracy. I see from the most recent post however that this plan has in fact been abandoned. This most likely means a war to dethrone the current president from power is likely to insue and I just see another Iraq war comming up.
Currently, China and Russia refuse to cooperate with the rest of the world (Powerhouse countries) on a plan-of-action for Syria. Russian diplomats said "forcing chance on foreign government is not in our policy." I personal sympathize with Russia because although I do agree that Syria should have a revolution (hopefully a peaceful one), I do not agree that it is the U.S.'s job to install democracy as their new form of government. I think doing so is being hypocritical to the term democracy because the own people will not have a say in what form of government they want.
I think the U.S should step out of this conflict and although I would still be fine with care packages and reliefe sent over, I do not think we should send over troops to fight another war to install a democracy.
