Debate: Will a U.S. Attack Help the Syrian Opposition’s Struggle Against Assad?

As debate continues in Washington and worldwide over what action to take in Syria, we’re joined by two Syrian opposition activists with different takes on whether Congress should authorize military strikes. Joining us from London, Rim Turkman of the Syrian political opposition group Building the Syrian State Current says the United States has a “historic opportunity” to help achieve a diplomatic solution to the crisis in Syria. “If the U.S. resorts to military power to end this, that means [it’s] failed politically,” Turkman says. Radwan Ziadeh, director of the Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies and the Syrian Center Political and Strategic Studies, and former director of foreign relations at the Syrian National Council, says there are no other options to a military solution in Syria, in which U.S. involvement could prove decisive. “We don’t have other options,” Ziadeh says. “Otherwise, Assad will continue his killing machine.”
