Ultimately, the Syrian rebels would have already been defeated — and
thousands of lives spared — if they had not been receiving support from
the US and other countries. The US-backed rebels have said that a
pre-condition for peace is “Assad must go;” but this demand does not
coincide with the reality on the ground: the rebels are in no position
to demand this, and the US is using this unrealistic demand to
artificially lengthen an already-bloody war.
Obama can either use his immense influence to end this bloody
conflict now by withdrawing support to the rebels, or he can extend the
conflict and further tear to shreds the social fabric of the Middle
East, while risking a multi-nation war that history will denounce as an
easily preventable holocaust.
