Counter Aid to Syria from Extremist: Good/Bad?


         As Syria’s calamity of political transition continues, United States and several other nations want to increase the supports to Syrian rebels. One of the big reasons is to counter the political and military aid offer by extremist. This aid will includes military equipments and training, humanitarian assistance  and political advisory, said by Secretary of State John F. Kerry.
         It is not surprising that extremists would make expansion in Syria under the turmoil and bloodsheds that left cities devastated into piles of rubble. However, that is one issue. If we look at Syria in a bigger picture, the biggest problem remains: Assad is still in power. The Syrian oppositions have no choice but fight to remove due to Ba’ath government’s violent actions implemented toward mass protests that resulted deaths of many protestors, then escalated, which led what is now Syria today.
          Regardless of the past, Syria is now facing terrorist expansion, endless gun fights, and homeless children. More importantly, Assad is still in power of the Ba'ath government. Although the aid that will be used for counter aid offered by terrorists, however will it ensure a safe political transition in Syria in the mean time? Or Syria will continue its civil war?

  1. I'm happy to see that somebody posted about the ongoing conflict. With such a crisis having been in play for so long in Syria, one seriously begins to wonder when Syria will reach the so-called "light at the end of the tunnel." It almost seems as though it will never end. Thanks, and I will definitely put more attention towards this.

    1. such a chaotic war should not be simply distracted by extremist influence. I believe the issues regarding Assad should be prioritized rather than sending armored vehicles and armor to the Syria oppositions which could only extend the duration of the war.
