The doctrine of Genocide Prevention is developing a momentum and the capacity of Powers to prevent Genocide even in the fog of war by worst case scenario consciencousness could have prevented even the Nazi invasion of Poland by France the UK and USA Staln would have backed off.Biafra Khemer Rougue Polpot Rwanda and the Balkans.

...joining the humanitarian aid convoys? And be hit by their own bullets! They are supplying Assad with his armaments, for heaven's sake!

syria will shoot down US aircraft with russian s300 missiles. get ready for american bodies and hostages. and turkey will not protect the corridor not because the turks are weaklings. Because for all the bluster of erdogan, he is a coward at heart afraid of syria and iran. He only picks on small countries like israel and greece and cyprus. Big countries like syria who have slaughtered 8000 civilians he does nothing about. The civilians need assistance but if they should throw out assad, they will quickly forget western assistance and bring in the brotherhood which is why haniyeh now supports the rebels , and go after israel. its a lose lose situation. Maybe the israelis should offer the alawites some deal of refuge.

About watching genocide on its doorstep and not intervining? The allies during the war had pictures of the ques to the gas chambers and did nothing, should we,the Jews stand by and do nothing? Or is it a case of a plague onto both houses. I watch the opposition demonstrations and see Israeli flags with Assad's face superimposed on the magen David,the crowd shouting Assad protector of Israel. Should israel intervene will we thanked or cursed?

The US should keep out. Let Turkey and the European “powers” put their money where their mouth is. Syria will be a distraction, and will weaken US resources and resolve over Iran.

I guess they are too busy with BDS movement. Sick indeed !

Syria is beyond me.Let the Muslim countries take care of Syria its there problem,they also have more money than the rest of the world with there oil money let them pay the bill.The Arab world hates the USA.With all the money that the USA contributes to the Arabs there is still this hate and no respect no friendship nothing,its a waste.The biggest threat to the world to day is Iran.The rest of the world better wake up and help the USA.

The leftists were and are Soviet/Russia's most loyal supporters since the time of Nasser. In case of doubt, pay a visit to Haaretz.

IF THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS UNFORTUNATELY STILL IS NOT ABLE TO CO-OPERATE, PERHAPS FOR EXAMPLE THE SALVATION ARMY, THE RED CROSS CAN HELP TO END THE SUFFERING OF THE SYRIAN PEOPLE, OF EVERY OTHER PEOPLE (FROM A CRIMINAL DICTATORSHIP IN THAT CASE), IF NECESSARILY, IF POSSIBLE, IF WISHED, BY PROPORTIONAL PROFESSIONAL FORCE...

and so on...

Another 'CONGRESSIONAL DECISION' by FIAT !!?God help us ! Please !

The USA is so eager to heal wounded snakes only to be bitten later as a thank you.

i thing the US is not a little bit worried about protecting civilians in Syria but putting his nato troops on the floor to over trow its government.

These "poor" Syrians hate the Jews anyway. Once they get rid of Assad they will turn their hatred on Israel. Obama will help the next war against Israel easier.

The truth is, Syria with Assad is no realistic threat to Israel. Why? Because Assad is much more concerned with regime survival than getting himself killed by a far stronger nation in Israel. Israel's enemies want him gone. The same ones that supported getting rid of Mubarak and Gadhafi, so they can fill the void with suicidal radicals (the only ones foolish enough to screw with Israel). The US is being a jackass here, as we were with Egypt and Libya. We don't help people, we oust their leaders (and I don't feel any love to these butchers) and then disappear convienietly from the scene. We leave a mess and that is what these chickenhawk bastards will do again. They do not support Israel, they want this chaos to put pressure on Israel because they work for her enemy.

People slaughtering people is always a sad thing BUT in this case who is to say that Sunnis on the one side are going to be any less savage than the Shia on the other. Neither has shown the slightest tolerance of infidels nor an inclination to treat women and young boys as "humans". OK, there would be a SLIGHT advantage in cutting the link to Iran's nuclear weapons.

The only thing that will stop the Syrians fighting each other is for a Jew to show up. Then they will all try to kill him. Unless they directly ask Israel for help, no consideration of intervention of any sides behalf is possible. With direct , public requests for from an official source, be it Regime or Rebel, then maybe.

I see no mention of Congress. Will they be consulted this time or will the President lead us headlong into another war. "But it's not another war, only an aerial blockade", some may argue. It will provoke action. The first U.S. drone or jet to go down will trigger the War Powers Act. That threshold has not yet been met. But then, it was never met in Libya either.

I would like to see Israel parachute food and water into the starved bombarded city of Homs. I dare the Useless Nations (UN) to condemn this. Jews lived in relative harmony in Arab nations for thousands of years. Perhaps,seeing Israeli food and water supplies landing in their neighborhood while their Jew hating government sends bombs and vicious snipers to butcher women and children might change a few minds. Send along leaflets stating that "Jews, as frequent victims of pogroms and genocide, cannot stand by and watch such savagery on their doorstep. We hope one day our peoples can live in friendship and harmony once the barbaric Assad clan is swept asside." At least, it would save some innocent lives.

'And this is in aid of what? Setting up the final blocks in a Middle Eastern Islamic Caliphate? We come to the rescue of the Muslims while they burn our flag and kill our people? And the Syrians will be no different from the Afghans, Libyans, Iraqis and Egyptians, when they’ve got what they want they’ll turn their hatred toward Israel and the U.S. I guess Obama needs the added satisfaction of making sure that Israel is surrounded by countries controlled by Al-Queda or Muslim Brotherhood led factions. I wonder if they will ‘forget’ about the high tech weapons belonging to this country….(again) and will some of these weapons make their way into the hands of Hezbollah and/or Hamas? It is so obvious he is trying to destabilize the Middle east and bring the radicals to power

This guy was a mole put in place in the US government ( who knows how votes he got were from manipulation/cheats) for the sole agenda to rearrange the power in the Middle East to be even more anti-Israel/American and to destroy/diminish the United States..and you don't always need bombs and tanks to destroy a nation do you...you can bankrupt it, downsize its military so its incapable in the future of being a real force to contend with, demoralize it with open hom-os in the ranks, demoralize its people with high unemployment and a killer economy, refuse to let it drill for it own oil and send Canadian oil to China...ad nauseam, to those who say he has been a failure he has not-he has accomplished much- to the destruction of the US.

You want Israel to come to the aid of Al Qaeda, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, all who are documented as material supporters of the so-called "Syrian opposition (rebels)." It's amazing how folks will just follow the propaganda put out by the media... WOW

At present the middle eastern counntries would never tolerate or accept your presence in Syria. Best thing your goverment can do is to get the peace process moving which will end your countries isolation and hatred towards it once a lasting peace agreement has been reached.

The lib media has been trying to generate public outcry about Syria - and most no one cares. obama wants to keep this story alive to stop folks from talking about his poor job performance.

Here we go again, another war compliments of the democrat party. No U.N. resolution, no consent of Congress, just more unauthorized military action on a sovereign nation in the name nation building (aka. colonial occupation). Who wants to wager the next claim by this failed President and his party is that Bashar has stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction and must be stopped before he uses them on his own people?

Why should America care if Syrians kill each other?

This "aerial blockade" smells a lot like the Libyan "no-fly zone" that was supposed to last for "days, not weeks" and was a precursor to the murder of the only leader within recent memory to voluntarily give up his nukes. I suppose we U.S. citizens should be happy that the feds are too busy bullying small countries to bully us even more than they do.

The American treasury is bankrupt, Unemployment is at records levels and & has been for more than three years, people are they point where they aren't afford to fill their gas tanks, price of gas has more than doubled since Obama became president Obama is desperate for a diversion to hide his many shortcoming's & lies One thing, Queen Michelle Atnionette has decided the size of candy bars is too large, she wants the size to be reduced, which will lead to the customere paying the same amount of money that he did for the larger bar, since the candy manufacturer's will pocket the difference for themselves, all this concern about food, while Michelle gorges herself on $600 a kilo Kobe beef, ir you want to see where all the food went, take a view of the Queens rump
