Ex-Syrian ambassador calls for foreign military intervention

Doha, Qatar (CNN) -- The most senior Syrian diplomat to defect and publicly embrace his country's uprising is calling for a foreign military intervention to topple President Bashar al-Assad. He also accused the Damascus regime of collaborating with al Qaeda militants against opponents both in Syria and in neighboring Iraq.

"I support military intervention because I know the nature of this regime," Nawaf al-Fares told CNN. "This regime will only go by force."

Until a few days ago, Fares was Syria's top man in Baghdad.

His defection marks a shocking about-face for an official who occupied a critically important post. Until Fares was sent to Iraq in 2008, Syria had no ambassador stationed in Baghdad for more than 20 years.

I think the world powers are tired of attempted interventions. They really don't seem to accomplish much in the long term.

God has allowed this world to try its own hand at resolving issues long enough for me. I pray that He intervenes soon to remove the church from this evil system of things and to let the great tribulation begin.

Once Daniel's 70th week, or the time of Jacob's trouble (the great tribulation) is complete, then there will be a millennial reign of Christ and that is the only solution to this world's problems that will work.

Even then, there will be those who will not conform themselves to God's ways, and so there will be a final war and then a final judgment.

New heavens and new earth for those who love God and the Lord Jesus after that for all eternity.

End of this story.

I am ready for God's plan to be the only one in play and this mess to be long forgotten.
