Syria Crisis.

So Basically Damascus admitted he had chemical weapons and that they agreed to abide by the Russians. What happened was that the Syrian public were attacked by supposedly the government, and that they are carrying chemical weapons. They attack the public with these chemical weapons and now they are saying it was not them.  Since that the The UN has been sorting out what they are going to do. The USA has decided to not invade just yet which i think is a good point. Maybe he will realize that they have more problems than they think. Anyways, there are rebel forces there which includes Al-Qaeda. And a accounts of rape and torture are commited on both sides. Crazy right? Here's what i think of all this. The whole rape and torture thing, not OK first off. I'm glad that the US is holding off because like i said they have a ton of their own problems that need to be sorted out first. Putting feet on the ground is the last thing that the US should be doing right now. Back to the article. More than 100,000 people since the uprising against al-bashir. Al bashir is ready to give up and stop production of these weapons aswell. This to me sounds a little odd because those weapons are alot of money and they could easily rigg them to explode when russia or the UN gets there. The president of the USA is still pondering if the russians plan will work. "It's too early to tell whether [the Russian plan] will succeed, and any agreement must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments," ~Barack Obama
I agree with him on this because there are so many things that could go wrong.
All in all i think what the USA is doing is good and they should continue to see this one play out. Russia needs to be alot more careful though.
