Huge Nerve-Agent Chem Attack in Syria?

[roberth]

Apparently not enough of it if they do. I feel for the people involved in this but I'm also fatigued by the U.S. taking it upon itself to try and solve the worlds problems. People die, dictators exist, famine happens, life isn't perfect.

You're right, it isn't our place, we have no business being involved.

Sometimes I wonder if there would be more freedom in the world if the United States would just wait for the citizens of other countries to get pissed off enough to revolt against their tormentors. Once the citizens are so pissed off that they start taking action against their dictators we just mail them a copy of The Constitution and Bill of Rights and a promise to help them after they overthrow the dictator. That way the revolution would belong to the citizens of that country and not to the American soldier. The citizens would have run the risks, spilt the blood, and sacrificed themselves on the altar of liberty and they would have self-respect and self-determination instead of watching the soldiers of another country do their fighting for them.

Self-respect is earned by doing things yourself, not by having someone do them for you.

The U.S. has a fairy unimpressive record when it comes to puppet-selecting leaders abroad. Noriega, Marcos, Saddam Hussein, -the cure often seems worse than the initial disease...

It is fairy when we have a fairy for CIC.

Remind me, which side is the pro-US side again?

Oh, wait, both the AQAP-backed FSA and the Hezbollah-backing Syrian-government are both ass-deep in anti-US terrorism?

I guess I can see the compelling US interest in taking sides here.

Our best interest is to sit on the sidelines and let them kill each other off.

Which border?

If you know the movements of US nuclear submarines then there are some people at your door that need to talk to you.
