While we are all in support of our Turk brothers in their defensive war against the illegal Syrian regime, one must ponder on the events that lead to the current grave situation where Muslims are fighting against Muslims. Western powers (on behalf of Israel) wanted to destroy Syria (not really just toppling its regime) and possibly create a situation where Syrian C&B weapons might be used against a Muslim country. They created militias, supported them, and created a civil war like situation in that unfortunate country. After creating huge mess, setting the whole region on fire, and dragging Russians in the war, Americans just exited the war zone. Obviously Turkey, having millions of Syrian refugees, had deep stakes in the stability of Syria. But that stability could not (and still can not) be achieved as long as Asad regime is there in the country unless you leave tens of millions of populace in the butcher house of Asad. Unfortunately, Russians and Iranians want the Asad regime stand up even if that means more bloodshed. Now that Turkey has ended up deep in the mess in Syria (just like Pakistan was suffering because of the bloody game of foreign powers in Afghanistan), Turks need to directly hit the Asad regime bringing it down to the knees for a political solution in the country. Unfortunately I don't see any other way out of the current situation.
