There is no peaceful or lasting
solution in the murderous Syrian uncivil war without the world giving the solemn
protection of human rights supremacy over national sovereignty. And, even that will be a source of violence…but
it at least it would lead to a lasting solution.
Every other action will only fuel the likelihood of a larger war
between Sunni and Shiite sects which will not be contained by Syria’s artificial
national borders or it’s prized national sovereignty.
Arms, money and recruits are already
sifting through both with no meaningful or effective mechanisms for control. These are forcefully
dividing Lebanese factions, emboldening Turkey’s Kurds, educating Iran’s
extremists leaders and creating problems for US/Russia relations. The US
is damned if it gets involved…and damned as much if we don’t. Even
Senator John McCain, a conservative interventionist believes “every military
option in Syria sucks.”
The impending collapse of Syria into
a failed state would likely yield chemical weapons to Al Qaida linked forces given the virtual impossible task of eliminating all chemical weapons on a short deadline with limited UN resources while working in conflict zone.
There is nothing to stop the mass murder or to try and find and destroy all chemical weapons without massive intervention on the ground.
And sticking one’s hands or head into the Syrian bear trap is considered madness
by any rational thinking soul.
So what other option is
available? One that seems even more
remote than Syrian peace but far more realistic in yielding a rational and sustainable
solution for Syria (and other potential failed states or seemingly impossible to
solve crisis coming) has been with us for over 60 years. The
answer? A new global constitution or UN Charter revision that
puts the enforcement of human rights supreme to the protections of national sovereignty that allows governments to do anything they want, whenever they want, to whomever they want. We the people of the world are ready for it…but
those in power in governments will resist vehemently and even violently…unless they
are educated about the consequences of failing to move toward this sane and
sustainable solution.
Time is not on our side.
