President Barack Obama said he is not seeking "regime change" in
Syria. Military action in Syria, he said this weekend as he sought
congressional approval, will be limited. These assurances are meant to
reassure those who fear a repeat of Iraq. But the idea of a limited
intervention is an illusion. Once the United States becomes directly
involved in Syria, there can be no turning back.
The purpose of limited
strikes would be to convey a message to Bashar al-Assad: Don't use
chemical weapons. But a U.S. attack could potentially widen, rather than
halt, the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Syria, as a united
entity, exists today only on the map. On the ground, competing interests
have fractured the country. No party can claim to represent even a
modest plurality of Syrians, and no power can claim authority
over a majority of the territory. But a formidable Arab state exists in
Damascus, and the numerous forces striving to seize it or bring about
its demise are so hopelessly riven internally that they cannot possibly
win without external support. For more than two years now, they have
attempted to incite Western intervention by exhibiting evidence of the Assad government's brutality.
