Should Australia overthrow President Assad of Syria?
In September 2015 foreign minister Julie Bishop announced that Australia would no longer support the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Bishop explained that Assad's government and military would be needed to help prevent the spread of ISIS in the region and removing him would further destabilise the region. Opponents of the decision, including the Labor party, argue that Australia should not be picking sides in the Syrian conflict.

Let the Americans deal with it. They like war. Australia should be peace loving and distancing itself from becoming involved in war.
