I am confident that if the US doe not interfere with Syria very little escalation, if any, will occur.
Like I say, containment is key.

Syria is being attacked by the same ideology that attacked us on 9-11-01.

Wishful thinking may be all that is left to do at this point. Escalation has only been internal with Syria. Outsiders are flocking to the region to increase the severity yes, However, as long as it is contained to Syria it will limit the damage. If and when it spills into other regions it is going to take on a life of its own.

Just saying you're confident doesn't really answer the question.
There has been continuous escalation for 2 1/2 years. I would expect
that trend to continue. What reason do you have for assuming that
this trend will not continue? Just saying you're "confident" sounds
like a whole lot of wishful thinking to me.

agree and now this --

Syria Welcomes, Would Comply With Russian Chemical Weapon Disarmament Initiative http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-09-0 ... initiative

"What angle will Kerry, and certainly Obama in his national address, use now to justify further military preparation, is largely unknown. Expect even bigger and more spectacular false flags in the coming days, all of which will be caught contemporaneously on Evidence A, a/k/a YouTube."


Looks like Russia is doing the US population a favor.

----------------------------------------------------------

If John is right about the coming "great war", Putin may be thinking ahead, once "O" is out of office, Russia may need the support of the US people against China.
Side note --in numerous comments by people on other sites, apparently by Americans, I have seen the comment that Putin seems to be the only major leader with a cool head. --- interesting

A chilly Arctic summer has left nearly a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than at the same time last year – an increase of 60 per cent.

Some eminent scientists now believe the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century – a process that would expose computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming as dangerously misleading.

John,
There is no good or bad but, We appear to be backing the greater of evils.
Many times a forest fire has to be fought with fire and not water. To know when is the issue.

You seem to be pretty certain what will happen if the U.S. takes
military action in Syria.

What do you think will happen if the U.S. does NOT take military
action in Syria?

This shows that we've made preparations to defend Israel, but it
doesn't show that we would, in fact, defend Israel (or Japan or the
Philippines or Britain or Europe or Taiwan).

If the attack were such that the President felt that he could go to
war immediately, without asking Congress, then we would defend Israel,
.... But if the circumstances of the attack were such that the
President felt obligated to ask Congress, then it's arguable that we
would NOT defend Israel, despite any treaties or preparations.
