The History of the last three Centuries has defined only one type of actors in the international environment – sovereign states with identified and recognized borders, compliant with international law and covenants, and responsible to their deeds. During the last 50 years was developed another type of actors, i.e. Guerilla and terror organizations that lack basic attributes of state and comprised some amorphous characteristics that enable them to strengthen in the modern world order, and at the same time they try to abolish it.

At the beginning of the 21st Century, a new entity in the international environment has been evolving. That entity encompasses terror groups or organizations that govern a state. Consequently, the aggressive and cruel characteristics of terror organizations unite with the qualities of sovereign state enjoy protection of the international law and at the same time ignore it in seeking their goals, regarding internal struggles and outside conflicts. Afghanistan under the Taliban control had been the first model of Terror State.

Its temporary success enabled other terror organizations to adapt that concept to other regions. But dealing with theoretical issues has little to contribute to cope with a most dangerous challenge of the Free World; i.e., Terror States. The Middle East encounters clouds of threats of a revolution that may evolve several terror nations which will be able to conquer most of the Arab nations. Some of them hold the keys for a considerable share of the world’s energy reserves.

Syria, after a plausible fall of President Assad’s regime, assumed to be the first candidate for a terror states’ alliance. Egypt, if free election will be occurred, supported by illogical and mistaken US pressure, and victory of the Muslim Brothers, will be the second one. The fragile regime Kingdome of Jordan will plausibly fall soon after. Yemen and the Emirates will not sustain the pressure of terrorism; and it is redundant to mention other candidate nations.

A few years from now an evil nation as Iran will be considered as a relatively moderate one comparing to the terror states. The new entity of the international environment – Terror states are believed to be the worst threat against the values and freedom of the free world, which protects itself by international law and international covenants` While terror states will try to harm and even destroy democracies ignoring any law and moral principles.

In order to prevent that reinforcement of the international terrorism, this process must be cut off at its first stage. The US president, despite his admirable moral concept, has to realize the consequences of initiation of a campaign against Assad’s regime – the first falling block of the shaken wall of Middle Eastern South-Eastern states, The US ability to prevent the fall of other countries to the evil hands of the international terrorism will be degraded significantly.

The United States of America should determine its next step for the long run rather than attack Syria as a result of short-run mistaken considerations.
