Syria is already a terrorist hell hole
And every day Assad is in power it gets worse. For the civilians there that is, I don't give a rats arse about dictators, especially dictators that shoot protesters.
You think having this civil war carry on for another five to ten years is the way to go.
You're entitled to your opinion, but there will come a time when the responsible countries of the world say "Enough"
Times ticking for the "hero" Assad.
Most likely his intestines will be wire guiding a cruise missile above Damascus in the weeks ahead, one can only hope.

Well Russia will be pissed of course as they won't be able to make $$$ from weapons deals with the regime. -Probably the main reason they are against stabilizing the region and opting for the war to continue unmitigated.
(Yes Russia is in it for the money as well)
-Other than that Russia will do nothing.

Secretary of State John Kerry is calling for the overthrow and murder of his friend, Syria's president Assad, claiming definitively that he used chemical weapons against his own people.
John Kerry was a frequent visitor of Assad's over the last few years. Perhaps no one in U.S. politics knows him better than Kerry who was complimentary of Assad as short as 2 years ago when he referred to him as a "very generous man".
The only entities willing to support their aggression on Syria is Saudi Arabia and Israel. So, how’s that for credibility? The only support Washington can muster is from a feudal, sword-wielding, head-chopping regime and a criminal pariah genocidal state. Coalition of the Willing? More like Coalition of the Killing.

What probably makes this one more interesting is that the French seem much more up for military action than anyone else.

In my opinion I believe that Iran will do nothing.
Israel has already struck Assad a few times, Russia and Iran could be accused of balking as well.

Hows Libya doing? oh thats right its in an Hell hole thanks to NATO, expect a new conflict there soon.
Libya would still be in the grip of civil war.
Was that a trick question? Or do you mean to say that things would be just ducky over there without the Nato intervention? Like, both sides holding hands and stuff?edit on 2-9-2013 by canucks555 because: (no reason given)

Depends what forces intervene, but any armed action has great potential to worsen the situation even further.
