There is a solution that would finally serve to bring an end to this massive, ongoing bloodbath that has devastated this county and its people. It would call for the U.S. and Russia to take positive, mutual steps to end their confrontation and work together to coordinate their military actions against the various terrorist groups in order to expel them from Syria.
Would this work? There is no doubt but that it would if the two parties to the negotiations could find a way to reach common ground. After their combined mission to eradicate the terrorists, Russia would have to exit the country; and the U.S. would need to do the same and forget about deposing Assad.
Now for those strong critics of Russia who fear its power and intentions there is no question that it and its actions must be closely monitored to make certain that it does not in any way directly threaten America; and that can be accomplished.
Based on the facts and evidence documented by independent geopolitical observers Russia is not really the great threat and menace that some of these war mongers portray it to be. It lost over 17 million of its people in World War II in the effort to defeat Hitler and, therefore, it is understandable that it may be very wary and fear any country, especially one as powerful and militarily aggressive as the U.S.
The U.S. government cannot continue to follow its aggressive military strategy in the Middle East; that has not worked and never will. One would think that by reviewing the failures of U.S. military policy in the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars that the leaders in D.C. would have learned some kind of lesson by now; that when your objective and mission is faulted and cannot be justified then you must change course and turn in a different direction.
This media has, for some time, been conditioning the American people to accept and condone this government's agenda of continuous wars; to blindly support them as something that needs to be done; wars that were said to be entirely justifiable when they most certainly were not.
Well, maybe, just maybe, when this long, drawn out, reality show version of a presidential election finally comes to a welcome end, it may be possible that this media will turn its attention to critically important world affairs, especially the conflict in Syria; and the American people will no longer remain in the dark.
But, then again, let's not hold our breath until it does.
