Stay Away From Syrian Envolvement Now

Open e-mail to Rep. Neugebauer:

EIN News says, "Assad Must Go: the World Unites Against Syria's Tyrant More than five months after the beginning of Syria's popular uprising, Barack Obama dramatically increased the pressure on President Bashar al-Assad yesterday, uniting the western world behind a demand that the dictator step down from power and end the assault on his own people. (independent.co.uk)".

I'm not a big supporter of Syria's President Assad. In fact, I know little about him, other than the fact that he has been President of Syria for 11 years. He became president in 2000. In 2007. four years ago, 95% of 11 million voters reelected him.

Let's say that the last election might have been fraudulent. So what? He has apparently run Syria for 11 years without any significant problems until now. If you were the Syrian President wouldn't you feel you had an obligation to defend your 11-year old government against some rebels trying to take it over?

Why now? In all probability, the present Syrian uprising is part of a general political change in the Middle East. This has come about through recognition that the US now has a Marxist Muslim President. The US had previously been a calming influence in the Middle East. While the population of the Middle East is mostly Muslim, the various governments have primarily been Muslim moderate. The only exception is Iran, which began a government of radical Islam clerics after the Shah was deposed. Iranian influence has encouraged similar developments in the associated countries. Within the last two years, the Radical Muslims in each of these other countries have come to realize that they have political support from the Marxist Muslim US President, and they intend to make the most of it. They have already overthrown the Egyptian moderate government and have established the Muslim Brotherhood, whose policy is to eliminate all Christian societies.

Therefore, the primary problem in the Middle East is our Marxist Muslim President. We can't do much about that for the next year and a half. But, we have a secondary problem, about which we can do something. That is. we should not fall into the trap of war mongering to support uprisings which most probably are Muslim Radical oriented and if successful, will be to our disadvantage.

We don't have money to give to Syrian Rebels. We should not supply Military aid. And, we should vigorously argue against war mongers like John Bolton, who desire to pull us into the quicksand, for no apparent reason. We can understand the political agenda of our US President, who desires to destroy our traditional US, but even though we don't understand others, like John Bolton, they are equally dangerous.

Randy, I respectfully ask you to pay attention to what is happening. You may not be able to influence public opinion, but you have control of funds, if you have the guts to stand up against Obama.
