not start with Assad, but this has been a powder keg for decades. Assad and his father were once allies of the United States. Once again, we have a minority ruling a majority with control of the military that was supplied by foreign powers in their interests. Now the tables have turned, when the dictator is no longer needed. And people like John McCain is the problem. It will be a continuing cycle, because no group, wants to be oppressed. I do remember, the opposition out of power, coming to the U.S. Congress, looking to gain support. And our interests always goes back to security for Israel. We took that responsibility over from Great Britain. And no matter who takes control, Israel's security will always be fragile.
The U.S. needs to settle it, with other major Parties. That includes major Powers in the Middle East. They need better relations with the Iranians and maybe the Egyptians. They will never solve the problem of the Middle East unless they do so. The problem between Israel and Iran needs to be settled. The Palestinian problem needs to be settled. They will just make the problem worse by supplanting one group for another. When you got groups like Hamas,Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood around, the culture does not foster Democracy. It is not even the case in Saudia Arabia, Kuwait or Jordan either. The U.S. is trying to plant the seed of Democracy but the people have to want it. It will probably take a century or centuries. All you are going to do, is give opportunity for another Dictator.
