They demonstrated peacefully, and then Assad started shooting them. Then came the tanks, planes and chemical weapons. The USA was slow to provide help to the Syrians, and we should have done better. Not by sending troops, but aid. Tulsi thinks the Syrian Arab-Spring uprising is a war between Assad and terrorists fomented by the United States of America. That is just the lie that Assad tells in order to oppress and kill his people.
-- l'm not seeing that in the Time article l linked to, or any of the other links (google Tulsi Syria trip) the Guardian article does outline a brief history of the conflict, however. What Tulsi does correctly point out is that Assad is the Syrian Prez, like it or not. You can't cut him out of any peace deal. You have to deal with him.
A similar analogy is that the Donald is prez, like it or not. We have to deal with him. We just simply can't blow off either one of these 2 clowns. That's the reality
Eric Wrote:Good luck with Tulsi in 2020; I could not vote for her unless I lived in a swing state, because of these lies. Her horoscope score is 11-6; pretty good, but not better than Trump's. The Democrats need someone with a much better score in order to win. Tulsi does not have enough experience in government either, and that probably still matters to some folks (although not to Trump voters, who won't vote for her anyway).
-- alot can happen between now & 2020, but yeah, l'd say Tulsi is positioning herself for a run. We'll have to see how things roll
