Syrian-born professor advocates
for U.S. intervention

"This is to show you the absurdity of the régime's thinking of a military solution. Abu Kamal is a city, the rebels are stationed on the roads to Abu Kamal, not in the city. So the air raids come and target the city, and not even get close to the rebel checkpoints. Just to show you the blind eye of the régime on how to make any progress to maybe regain these areas, which is not going to happen because they have lost it and are just trying to retaliate.
I envision the power of Syrian people to be more overwhelming, than what you called in a very institutionalised way, government."
