1. Trump is like a rabbit when it comes to Assad, Putin & Iran
Shela Ramon ,   Tel Aviv   (09.10.18)
He just lets them slaughter civilians!
2. One sided vew wont help
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (09.11.18)
Iran's antagonism to USA is based on US's and UK's involvement in ousting th elected minister president in the distant 1953. Then the Iranian government decided to nationalize its crude oil reserves to stop the exploitation by the western powers.
Then the West installed a dictator Shah, who oppressed opposition, which lead finally to a revolution and brought to power religious extremists, who's foreign policy is directed to protect Iran's sovereignty.
Israel, as a smaller partner of USA, is an irritant to the Iranian leadership. The Palestinian conflict, kept warm by EU and USA, is yet another vehicle.
Trump makes finally the right things towards ending the artificial prolongation of the suffering of Arabs in Gaza and Judea by ending to finance UNRAWA, Many steps to follow.
Israel should act towards Iran in a way, which would enable the Iranians to rebuilt trust towards USA. In long term Israels interests are to have peace. The US interests in the region are rather mercantile.
3. Assad is a war criminal who commits crimes against humanity

against humanity.

the use of chemical weapons and of barrel bombs violate the rules of
war and constitue crime against humanity.
4. Trump will be trumped if ...
Ardeth Bey ,   Detroit   (09.10.18)
Trump will do absolutely zero facing down Russia. The latter has given him a dire warning last time the US fired missiles into Syria. Therefore, it's only going to be a 'huff and bluff & I'll blow your house down' and no more!
5. A Lie. It is "REBEL-THUGS" who produce chemical weapons
ironbutterfly   (09.13.18)
Funny name "rebels"...they are nothing less than murderous thugs, part of ISIS complex (which is btw created by US as its proxy, like Al-Qaeda). US and Israel arm these thugs and support them. Everything to destroy Syria and Assad.
But as long as Russia is there, the dirty american games will fail miserably.
