Before we go into Iraq and bomb people again. Let us ask the right questions; for example, wil bombing help? is it effective? In what context did ISIS rise? etc. etc. JAY: And finally, Vijay, what attitude do you think Americans should take towards President Obamas proposal, which essentially is going to be to try to bomb the hell out of IS and hope some other countries submit ground troops? But should people support Obamas policy? PRASHAD: Well, I mean, again, its too vague, and in Syria itself its going to be catastrophic, because you cant bomb a group like the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams without ground troops that you are bombing alongside, meaning giving close air support. If you are just going to level the city of Raqqah, youre going to create a great deal of sympathy for the IS among the people of northern Syria. And so American should have realized that razing cities does not solve conflicts. It produces and reproduces conflict. So unless theres clarity about the politics in Syria, this can end up being a very serious disaster. therealnews/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=12360
