Edward Luttwak: “It would be disastrous if President Bashar al-Assad’s regime were to
emerge victorious after fully suppressing the rebellion and restoring
its control over the entire country… But a rebel victory would also be
extremely dangerous for the United States and for many of its allies in
Europe and the Middle East. That’s because extremist groups, some
identified with Al Qaeda, have become the most effective fighting force
in Syria.”
Politico:
“There’s never been more pressure for President Barack Obama do
something about Syria. And there’s never been less consensus on what he
could do, or should do.”
