Syria: Chemical weapons

Cmike2780

I think we can all agree that lives are being lost needlessly. I think we can all agree that war is messy, bloody, barbaric, inhumane and innocent, defenseless lives are often the most in harms way. You can argue that guns have killed more people in history than all weapons of mass destruction combined. Whatever the case, we shouldn't just ignore this. It's not about a "red line" or death tolls. It's about putting all the BS aside and doing something about it. People say Chemical weapons have "only" killed this many vs....whatever. The thing is, where DO you draw the line? It's a slippery slope. Would you be okay if the US dropped a nuke to teach them a lesson? I don't know the answers. ...and to be honest, I barely know the history and facts of the region. All I know is, I see a pile of dead men, women and children. Even if they were all gunned down, there's nothing okay about that. We don't have to be the world police, but we can't just look away. That not right and doesn't solve anything....but then again, neither will firing missiles. This is a tough call with no right answer.

Does the US want to establish some control in the region? Of course it does. It's a volatile region where the consequences of the wrong people in power effects us. It's why Iran is a threat. It's why 9/11 took place. Walking away and making some popcorn while thousands of civilians die? ...that's just f'cked up no matter how you look at it.


Yeah, this thread should be locked.
