At a recent event in New York City, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger spoke candidly about the civil war in Syria, which a human rights group said Wednesday has claimed over 100,000 lives since beginning in 2011.
At the June 19 forum, which was hosted by the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, Kissinger warned that because of volatile ethnic tensions, a victory either by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (who is Alawite) or by the rebels (who are mostly Sunni) would be disastrous.
"If you put either of these sectarian groups in charge, there will be a bloodbath," he said.
Kissinger said he was "all in favor" of getting rid of Assad, but that "if you break up the state administration, you wind up like Iraq -- there is nothing to hold it together."
Kissinger also said the media has portrayed the Syrian civil war in a simplistic way.
"In the American press, [the war is] described as a conflict between democracy and a dictator, and the dictator is killing his own people and we have to punish him," Kissinger said, adding, "But on the whole it is an ethnic and sectarian conflict. … I have to say, we have misunderstood it from the beginning."
Kissinger went on to explain what he thinks would be the best result of the conflict: "An outcome in which the various nationalities agree to coexist together, but in more or less autonomous regions so that they cannot oppress each other ... [is] the outcome I would prefer to see," he said. "But that's not the popular view."

Comment:

Is the ex- Secretary of State worried about Israel’s capability of coping with the sectarian formation of government but why? It is what Netanyahu want for his better control.  Kissinger should be worried of Russian Presence and advice Netanyahu to be sober otherwise Israel is heading for the dooms day soon.

Jumping with the joy to soon be able to take revenge by Netanyahu at heart of heart and of Israel Jews with active support of the US “WE JEWS CONTROL AMERICAN’S” Congress.  World Jews community Could be also interested to avenge,  but might not be approved by God.

Kissinger is suggested to pray to GOS for the welfare of JEWS and stop committing crime as he did while in office. US had been always kind to Jews but Jews get lot of pleasure killing Americans and their children like cats and dogs without any remorse. In fact they conspire to kill 47% middle class and poor American. Kissinger is asked to keep away from media to keep his criminal activities secret.

It is not being wise to give uninvited suggestion and advises.
