Two and a half years down the line of the Syrian situation and impasse , the only way out nowadays in my opinion , is a direct intervention of the west , the situation politically and on the ground totally justifies a Libyan style intervention by the US. NATO and possibly a Russian limited intervention .
Justification for such an act , after a long stale mate between the different powers involved , would be to first , finish the old Assad regime and get him out , second , pressure and finish the ultra salafist and alquaida influenced factions and get them out as well , the direct help of Turkish troops would make it easy , plus the political and monetary consent of all Arab countries including Saudi Arabia , Qatar and the Arab golf , Israel of course would go along without saying .
A third objective would be to rid the area of a very dangerous and quickly expanding war , that will engulf all of Syria's neighbours , ie. Lebanon , Jordan , Iraq and eventually Turkey itself , Israel is not out of such scenario .
Weakening Iran and it's ally Hezbollah to an almost stand still , is a sure and clear advantage to Israel , the Arab countries and strategically to the US. and the west in general .
Another reason and for fairness sake , is the establishment of a sort of democratic power sharing system , to govern and slowly rebuild Syria , such a regime that has better chances than actual Iraqi's faltering democracy . Thus returning some of America's lost credibility in the world after the fiasco of the Iraqi adventure .
The Russian side could , if not already , be convinced//pressured of having a secure share in the intervention itself and the following political and economical sharing in the future Syria . Something denied to them in Libya . China has no real power or saying in this part of the world .
Iran itself will be totally cornered with an Israeli watch dog threatening and keeping it in check , even happy for an Iranian miss-calculation to strike and destroy .
Clearly a win -win situation to all sides and parties , including the Russian and Iranian axis who , even though looks as if holding well behind the Assad regime , know that time and the future is not to their advantage . The West will prove to itself and to world opinion to be more fair and just in policing the world and it's affairs .
The Arab countries and their populations , who classically and for long decades , have been systematically denouncing American and western imperialism and interventions in various forms in the Middle East , are nowadays begging for such an intervention . US. military and the public opinion manipulating machines in the US. and Europe will be very happy to oblige . Again a win-win happy situation and outcome .
A month and a half in the middle East , my observations made me totally convinced of what I believe is the only way out of this quagmire and potentially ticking bomb to the area and to world
