If the neocon effort to overthrow Assad is successful, then what? Does Syria become another Iraq or Libya, another land of anarchy? Is it coincidental that anarchy follows US interference?

You have not been told Aleppo is divided into two parts. Western Aleppo (1.75 million) is controlled by the Syrian government, but East Aleppo (250,000) is controlled by "terrorists". Thousands of East Aleppo residents fled to West Aleppo seeking protection of the Syrian government. Russia is bombing East Aleppo. If the Syrian government can take East Aleppo it will pretty much signal the end of the terrorist invasion of Syria, and Assad will remain in power, which is anathema to the neocons. So a Syrian and Russian victory over the terrorists and jihadists would be a defeat for those in the US who want the end of Assad. Since East Aleppo is the stronghold of Al Nusra, formerly called Al-Qaida, why would the US introduce a resolution to prevent Russians and Syrians from bombing the terrorist stronghold? Russia vetoed the UN resolution and argued the US is trying to protect the terrorist stronghold from Russian and Syrian bombs.

What is the US doing in Syria anyway? What legal right does the US have to be in Syria? What did we do in Iraq? What did we do in Libya? One might suspect we are the instrument of anarchy in the world.
