Carving Up Syria: Anything Left For The Syrians?
Video Tuesday February 20, 2018 Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams
Written by Daniel McAdams
Turkey has launched an attack on Syrian government-affiliated forces as they approach Kurdish areas of northern Syria. The Turks are occupying increasing parts of Syrian territory. Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson bragged that the US controls 30 percent of Syria. Israel also has designs on occupying even more Syrian territory. With ISIS all but defeated, will outside plans to carve up Syria succeed? Will Russia stand by? More in today's Liberty Report:

If Assad is ousted and Syria is 'democratized' the result will be the same as in Iraq or Libya, or - going back further - the Habsburg Empire, the European colonial empires, etc. As was recently discussed in another thread, multi-sectarian democracies are problematic. Most take this as an indictment of multi-sectarian states, but it should be taken as an indictment of democratic states. In the case of Syria in particular, the whole problem originated in foreign interference, but, nonetheless, if there had been a genuine democratic revolution in Syria, of domestic origins, we'd be seeing a similar carving up along ethnic/religious lines. In other words, there's more to consider here than just "foreign intervention = bad."

Why would that be such a bad tbing? Letting people choose their own way instead of the rest of the world fighting over the carcass it created?

The end result (multiple ethnically homogeneous states in lieu of one multi-ethnic state) isn't so bad, but the process of getting there is. Iraq and Libya, with or without any further foreign intervention, will be in a state of civil war for years to come. The thing about nationalistically minded groups is that they're really only interested in their self-determination; they tend not to respect other groups' alleged right to the same. This makes for less than amicable divorces.
