Let me see if I got this straight.
We are going to war again ( this is no. 3 ) because Syria is attacking itself.
The justification is the type of weapon they are now using and that it is a matter of OUR national security.
Really? Dead by one method is worse than by another. Gas is now worse than, oh say, napalm? Radiation poison? I think not. Ever seen someone take the brunt of a claymore charge? I have. Very ugly. Point is, one is as bad as another. Poor excuse.
And how does their civil war impact OUR security? I've felt quite secure trough the whole mess so far. While I feel sorry for the loss of life over there and all the suffering the population has to deal with, it just isn't for us to settle. If we become involved the result will be the same as it always is over there. After we stop the main fighting there will be a half dozen different groups fighting for control and blowing up whatever is left in the name of whatever they think is right at the moment. Sound familiar?
I think the American people have just about had it with the role of the worlds policeman. I know I sure have! We have bled enough for everyone else for a while. It's time to get the hell out of the Arabs business for a while. They don't want us and we sure don't need them.
Besides, when was the last time you were sleepless worried about an attack from Syria? Really?!
