Salaam everyone. The following is my political analyses of the justification used to postulate possible US intervention in Syria. Inshallah i hope it is of benefit.

Qasim the end of your analysis, that;

"Thus if Al Assad�s regime is to fall then the security of one of America�s greatest and important assets, Israel, will come into jeopardy. The UN also has no credibility as an arbitrator for a peaceful solution given its inability to apply and enforce international law consistently. The reality is that the justification for intervention is not because of the use of chemical weapons by Al-Assad�s regime, but rather the rise of an Islamic vision which if materialised could potentially threaten US political interests indefinitely in the region."

appears to run counter-intuitive to everything written prior to your ending argument.

Yesterday we noted that AIPAC had issued a statement strongly in support of a strike. Now it�s in �full court press,� its power on the line. Haaretz�s Chemi Shalev says the entire American Jewish establishment jumped off the fence to support the strike, yesterday:

The American Jewish establishment jumped off the fence on Tuesday and came out in full support of Congressional approval of President Barack Obama�s plans to launch a military strike against Syria�s chemical weapon capacity.

And Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren took the unusual step of expressing support for elements of President Obama�s statements on Syria, including his assertion that the Assad regime must be held accountable and that there should be �international consequences� for his use of chemical weapons.

The sudden unified burst of support for Obama�s request for Congressional authorization for a strike against Syria follows almost two weeks in which Jewish organizations have maintained a low profile on the August 21 chemical attack near Damascus and the American response to it.
