It was under western occupied Iraq that ISIS formed so the west are to blame to an extent. I support the complete withdrawal of western intervention of the conflict.

The weat gets criticised for supporting dictators in middle eastern countries.

When there's no dictator they seem to descend into chaos.

The west shouldn't get involved in the middle east as I said. There's nothing they can do to improve the situation.

What's your take on Iranian and Russian support for the Assad regime.

ARe you against that? Or is it just Western involvement you don't like?

I condemn their support for that tyrant Assad.
I don't think there's much the West can do at this point. If we back Assad and he starts to reclaim territory there will likely be large scale human rights abuses - remember how the conflict started with peaceful protesters being shot dead by security forces. If we back the rebels, jihadists will increase their influence and minority groups like the Christians and Alawites would face mass killings, a bit like in Iraq following the fall of Saddam Hussein.

The only way this war could end anytime soon is with a political solution. But that is unlikely because of how much mistrust there is on both sides, and because the rebels have basically no "moderates" left and don't have a single organisation to represent them which makes negotiations of that sort difficult.

There is no end in sight for this war, and things will get worse before they get better.

assad kills his own people! basically in his eyes whoever does not like the president are terrorist! he is refusing to step down when no one wants him. so what does he do? he uses force and violence. can you imagine living in country where the people are gased to death by there own government? that is just disgusting!! do u see how insane this sounds? where is the freedom? if he really did care he would have destroyed isis a long time ago, but it's the least of his concerns in my eyes. Because he really is not doing anything!!

he is a devil anyway!! he has not done his country any good over the last 5 years!!
Even though it is a war (& I completely agree that the west shouldn't be involved in conflict), civilians are being killed and young girls are being recruited by manipulation of the honor of marrying a Jihadi fighter, most of Syria is in blackout and thousands of Syrian civilians are now refugees with no homes left, it's a humanitarian crisis and whether the west should become involved or not, surely the rest of the world cannot watch these innocent adults & children die?? It's inhumane and even though it's not happening here it is happening somewhere else and people are fearing for their lives every second of the day.

Look at Iraq now without saddaam? Look at Libya

These countries need dictators like them to keep out terrorist groups. They are evil but better than the alternative

agreed :smile:
There are 56 Muslim countries in the world, some of which are extremely wealthy with massive cash reserves.

It doesn't matter what the west does, it will be accused and blamed.

I've already seen videos threatening the west for NOT intervening. Now we have videos threatening us for intervening.

Let the Muslims go through their civil wars. We cannot allow them to drain western resources whilst the Arab states sit on their gold thrones swimming in cash.

It is the Wests fault due to the origins of ISIS... because Saddam was removed, it created a power vacuum in the region.. ISIS is just a continuation of the events that happened when we went into Iraq....

Atleast when Saddam was in power, it was stable.. now look at Iraq now... death, suffering and genocide from ISIS....

here's a better explanation:
