Syria

I don't get why this has been going on for so long, is there a reason Al Assad isn't just leveling cities and anyone that opposes him? Not like he's trying to wing over the support of his people.

I think that we shouldn't be involved their. I may possiy have been swayed but we already have tried to help the Middle East and it is still fucked.

We're not the world police. We've gotten nowhere in the Middle East, and no matter what we do they're going to keep on killing each other. Their religion encourages holy war and suicide, you'll never win anything against that kind of fanaticism. Let them kill each other like savages.

America needs to go back to an isolationist foreign policy.

if we start another war im moving out of the us

The drums of war grow louder...

It appears as though both the Senate will back Obama, while the House remains up in the air.

All the while, Russia has moved one of its new missile cruisers and supporting ships towards the Mediterranean, mirroring the US Carrier Group Nimitz's shift from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea

I agree, I think staying out of it would be for the best.

I don't know how I feel about the "strategic and limited" strikes because it seems to me like 1: it's bound to lead to something greater and 2: I have to wonder how much of it is motivated by Obama not wanting to look like a pussy after telling them not to cross the ""line"".

That being said, there is obviously some fucked up shit going on. Lots and lots of innocent people, children, dying, living in awful conditions, etc. I realize the danger of speaking in hypotheticals, but what would it take for us to get involved? Short of a direct attack on a US establishment. Where (if at all) should the "line" really have been drawn?

"to what end"

since when is it our job to punish someone, i understand the logic all though its messed up.

don't we have the united nations, are they not required to act on something like this when rules of war are broken?

i understand that UN includes us, but why are we to get singled out and trying to be the worlds police.

what happens after we barrage assad with missiles?

who gets to decided what punishment is just enough to let them know they did bad, but not severly interfere with the war?

from what i here the rebels arnt doing too hot, i really see that they have a much bigger motive to use chemical weapons, especially if they can turn the blame on Syrian nationals


but from Syria's standpoint i remember once a country used 2 weapons of mass destruction to try to end a war that they probably would have won, since they captured many of the countries islands, if Syria used the weapons to try to scare and put a more abrupt end to the civil war what makes them that much worse than us?

to iterate i don't give a flying fuck about either side, i don't support tyrant presidents, but i also don't thing that the country will be better under control of radical fundamentalists

i say fuck it. entirely, not our people, not our money, not our problem. no matter what Al Assad is going to make us look like the bad guys. and further beyond that...this is a superpower engagement just WAITING to happen. somehow the american government and most of its people feel 'obligated' to help. i never understood that. as americans we are built around the idea of freedom and choice are we not? then how can we infringe upon the beliefs of others and tell them that our way is the best way and that they have to live that way. am i saying that the innocent people of syria should die because of one shitty guy? absolutely not. what im saying is let them fight off their own on their own. weve got enough problems right here in the US.

[Riot]

no

[Buffalo Phil]

Assad must have found Obungo's birth certificate, that's why Joke Kerry the war hawk is pushing so hard for military action, when they find it, Kerry will be against the war he started.

[Chaos]

Definitely no....Like many others have said it's not our job to police the world. We have too many issues here at home to worry about more middle east shit that will never end, no matter who gets involved.
