What do you personally think we are going to accomplish by killing MORE of those people?
Will they love us because we killed some more of them?
Now if we were going to send in CIA agents and assassinate their leader? Okay.
But of course our own heads of state don't want to do that because then it's open season on THEM.
No, they would much rather kill more of Syria's citizens with a "missile strike". That way they don't have to worry about a retaliatory assassination on their own sorry asses.
You can call me an "idiot" all day long. But I just don't see how killing MORE people is helpful to stop a guy from killing people. That doesn't make any goddamned sense at all.
And the thought that the United States Of America is in the business of attacking other sovereign nations who have NOT attacked us...is kinda fucked up. It's exactly what I was taught in school that we were "against".

Look, what I said is very clear and I'm sure I don't need to say it again but I will just for the record. If someone here or anywhere is going to say it's OK for a person to gas their own people without punitive punishment, they're an idiot who can't see long term effects of letting that go. YES it's speculation for a lot of people still whether he ordered it, whether it was a third party (evidently the Russians think it was a third party), or whether it was the rebels who did it.. but I don't think that's going to last. Supposedly we have intercepts of the gov. ordering their own troops to ready their gas masks, we saw the launches from gov. controlled areas, and saw where they landed. We've also seen the aftereffects and we know the nations red crescent leader was forbidden to send in help by the government though they deny it. This is called evidence and it's only mounting up higher. To be cynical is fine, to be undecided is normal, but to say even if we KNOW he did it we should do nothing? Pure idiocy!
