30. It is not in US interests to overthrow Assad

Right-wing Israel supporters have lead the push to overthrow Assad. Other war supporters in the US latch on to the right-wing Israel supporters. Together they cause a lot of harm.

That was a big part of of our unprovoked attack against Iraq, though a number of other interests beyond Israel were also important. As far as our targeting Syria and Assad, Israel supporters are by far the main reason he is the target. Other pro-war interest also latch on, since war is what they love.

The sanctions on Iran are almost exclusively due to the Israel lobby.

The neocon fantasy hit list included Iraq, Iran, and Syria. These are/were the most powerful nations in the region that aren't/weren't under US influence and control, and were minor challenges to Israel's hegemony.

America's total support for Israel's brutal aggressions against the Palestinians proves that the Israel lobby is powerful. That can't be rationally denied. No government official has the guts to oppose them. That's tragic.
