An R2P troop intervention into Syria dangerous for West

US TV show host Rachel Maddow with clips from US Rightwingers who advocate active involvement of Western forces in the Syrian Civil War.

My Comment

But there are also those from the Centre and Left who  argue that a Western Responsibility to Protect (R2P) intervention with Western troops "Boots" on the ground, is necessary to defend the Syrian people against the Syrian Assad Government.

There is a very real risk that a Western troop intervention that destroys the Syrian Army would be seen as yet another Western invasion and occupation of a Muslim Middle Eastern country.

If such an intervention occurred the civil war might rapidly become an anti-Western insurgency with former soldiers of Assad's army, Shiite Hezbollah militia and the Sunni "rebel" opposition forces all fighting Western troops. This is what happened in Iraq after the 2003 Western invasion - something that should not be repeated.
