“If and when the al-Assad regime falls, Americans can watch (a) the slaughter of some portion of Syria’s Alawite and Shia communities; (b) the triumph of Islamist forces, although they may deign to temporarily disguise themselves in more innocent garb as has Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood; (c) the opening of Syria’s prisons and the release of thousands of veteran and hardened Sunni Islamist insurgents; and (d) the looting of the Syrian military’s fully stocked arsenals of conventional arms and chemical weapons. In the midst of this mess perhaps U.S. voters ought to take a minute to think these situations through, and then ask: what has all of this got to do with America?”
