United States must intervene in Syria

Where there is injustice, any and all steps must be taken to ensure that justice is served.

Syria is a place rampant with injustice with President Bashar al-Assad being the perpetrator of crimes against humanity.

The fight against Assad has so far been a failure, particularly so after the announcement from the Pentagon that the U.S. is discontinuing its Syrian rebel training program after spending hundreds of millions of dollars arming rebels.

The United Nations is supposed to be the world’s police.

Yet, the U.N. has not ruled out the possibility of Assad being part of the solution in Syria. This situation presents itself as the world police cooperating with a mass murderer to bring peace to the very country Assad has destroyed. Assad is the problem, and the UN wants the problem to be part of the solution. It just won’t work.

The Gulf States appear an equally inefficient solution to the problem Assad presents.

Russia’s military involvement in Syria is threatening to divide and destroy the coalition that some believe could be the best solution. Several countries view Russia’s airstrikes as successfully targeting extremists, while several other countries and the U.S. believe Russia is hitting moderate rebel groups in a concealed attempt to bolster Assad’s safety.

This division over Russian involvement is dissolving the coalition, making it unable to make progress in the fight against Assad.

This is why the United States must launch a full-scale ground operation in Syria to dethrone Assad.

While the world’s police sit and watch the innocent die, the U.S. must assume the role of the vigilante cop, potentially going outside or around bureaucratic protocol to deliver cold, hard justice to criminals.

While some say that the U.S. has no plan for Syria, the same people are alleging that Hillary Clinton had no plan for Libya post-Gaddafi. Libya is a safer place without Gaddafi in power.

Criminals must see justice, and the U.S. must take all steps possible to dethrone the tyrant Assad, even if it means becoming a vigilante.
