I am not advocating to intervene... Just pointing out that Muslim on Muslim global violence s NOT because of US “policies.”

Syrian army pushing rebels out of Damascus, activists say
TheNewsTribune.com-Oct 1, 2012
[...]
The Syrian Network for Human Rights listed 483 women and children as among the dead across the country.

Violence had ebbed from an initial high in February and dropped in April and May after the announcement of a United Nations-backed peace plan. But violence escalated again in June as the plan fell apart and neither side showed a willingness to negotiate.

The Syrian government stopped publicizing casualties among the army and security forces earlier this year, though in June the Syrian government’s own reports indicated rebels were sometimes killing dozens of soldiers each day. The number of total dead in the conflict is now likely more than 35,000.

I wonder how many dead women and children there would be if a large amount of US citizens decided to overthrow the government. How many were there during our civil, war which was quite a long time ago? I don’t like Assad, but doesn’t he have the right to protect his right to continue to rule his country? From what I have seen many that attempt to take these countries over are worse than the leaders they have taken over, all in the name of democracy, but actually more like for the Muslim Brotherhood=, which is suppose to be democratic but doesn’t look like they are once they get in. Do we, as a Country, really have the right to decide to help mobs overthrow the rulers of other countries? Is there a legal basis to helping the Muslim Brotherhood take overthrow the rulers of many countries? If we do, someone please tell me the legal and moral basis for this is.
