Obama: Assad Shooting At American Planes Would Lead To His Overthrow

American government's job is to protect Americans. ISIS harmed American's and thus drew the nation's ire, and rightfully so. Assad continues to kill Syrians, but inherently, that is a duty for Syrians. If America were to attack every nation that harms or kills its own people, the US will have to invade China, Russia, and many others.

So, Obama's foreign policy, while derided by some, is perhaps America's first realistic foreign policy in decades. The US cannot, and should not become the world's policeman.

If Assad makes the mistake of harming Americans, then he would have rightfully deserved attack by the US government.

The so called Syrian opposition that wants America to help it get rid of Assad, so that it can then "deal" with ISIS is living in lala land. The Syrian opposition remains fractious, and unsure. Like the Shia opposition against Saddam, it lacks a national structure and basis. Obama is right to avoid turning the US into Syrian opposition air-force or Iraqi air-force.

Obama : The Country We Believe In

A speech by The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, on April 13, 2011 at Goerge Washington University... Good afternoon.  It’s great to be back at GW.  I want you to know that one of the reasons I kept the government open was so I could be here today with all of you.  I wanted to make sure you had one more excuse to skip class.  You’re welcome.
