The One Question Everyone’s Forgetting to Ask About Syria
As the U.S. debates a strike on Syria, we’ve forgotten to ask an important question: How would a strike would affect the Syrian people? The truth is, a military strike probably wouldn’t do much. Obama’s modest goal is to prevent Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from using more chemical weapons.
A strike could even backfire by hitting civilians.
We could help Syrians without launching a strike by welcoming refugees across our borders, pressuring Assad to stop targeting hospitals, or increasing humanitarian aid.
It’s clear something needs to change. The Syrian war has killed 100,000 and displaced 2 million more.
