Another foreign policy defeat for freedom-loving people is taking place in Syria. A United Nations report says an “extermination” campaign has been underway against the Syrian opposition to the Bashar al-Assad regime. Tens of thousands are now dying or fleeing Russian-backed aggression against the city of Aleppo. The attacks on civilians are getting some coverage on the evening news programs but haven’t become an issue in the presidential campaign or the debates. Instead, the big new issue is Donald Trump’s latest insult. In contrast to the debate moderators, who generate ratings by provoking personal attacks among the candidates, correspondents and columnists are now covering what Roger Cohen of The New York Times is calling a “debacle” for U.S. foreign policy. Why is Obama, supposedly a friend of the world’s Muslims, silent? The inescapable conclusion is that President Obama has been collaborating with, rather than opposing, the Russian aggression. He has chosen the side of Russia and its allies over the Syrian people.
