Are you for or against intervening in Syria?

[Gandalf]

And just another comparison is the role of the United States itself. This is a country that has used nuclear bombs, covered Vietnam with napalm, assasinates people on foreign territory without due trial, makes up evidence and engages in wars of illicit aggression. Now they are trying to piece together the Geneva articles, but since when has America been bothered with international law? The hypocrisy is just beyond the pale. Again, where are the strikes against the US and the prosecutions for the White House war criminals and secret agents who allegedly even assasinated their own President (Kennedy).

Apparently the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria, if ignored by America, would be a 'threat to the United States'. Now can anybody make any sense of the rhetoric, bluster, or bullshit of these people? They are clearly not breathing the same air that the rest of us do.

Also it is the rebels who have seemingly used Sarin nerve gas in the past. However, we are only seeing what we want to see in this issue. This has NOTHING to do with the use of chemical weapons. Obama and Cameron are prepared to go beyond the UN over chemical weapons, when the people they are supporting use chemical weapons. This is a civil war and look at us itching to use our big toys.

If this where happening in Africa or Asia no one would say shit. Since the U.S. is a puppet of Israel there will be strikes of some kind.

[Nameless]

I say no intervention till there is a solid plan made first, no friggin blind strikes like in Iraq where the Bush&Cheeney did show that they have been the worst clueless tandem of all time. We don't want to repeat a carnage with no "and then what" kind of plan.

Somebody has to stop this history repeating itself gig. Its like a real life episode of the Twilight Zone.

Unless someone can point out what the objective is beyond some kind of oddball retribution then let nature take its course. The fact that inspectors cant even get in to see the evidence to make a finding ought to tell you something.

Funny when you read this: the biggest question it brings to mind is 'IS America the God of Israel?

At the very end of this age all nations will be gathered against Israel for war. But despite sophisticated weapons, they will be defeated by the God of Israel.





ISRAEL, FUCK YEAH!

Precisely. What happens next? The media is slanting it as though America mustn't show weakness to Iran, but surely bombing Syria for 3 days will kill many more than those killed in this chemical attack. An attack which still hasn't been proven the responsibility of Assad and at the end of the day, the US media needs to quit harping on about Iran.They should look out for their own wayward Captain with his drones, Guantanamo, spying, etc first.

America is yet again seeking to extend its debt window and yet once again Captain America is wading in using taxpayer money to fund the very people they have been spending billions of dollars fighting against. What an absolute cluster bomb, sorry I mean clusterfuck. Obama doesn't care about his own consitution, so when he waffles on about international law and having to be careful, it makes me cringe. Bush and Cheney are walking free and Obama has the temerity to talk about international law. He's a joker, that one.

I can see how people in England and America are more free than people in SYria or people in Iraq under Saddam. Nobody is disputing that. I would of course anyday rather be in America than Syria or Iraq, nobody I hope is disputing that either. So I can see the logic, though well, well stretched to unidentifiable proportions, that "Its better to have the US/UK system of governance imposed over the whole world rather than the Assad or the Saddam systems."

But that is just pure logic, like a Darwinian anthem, that "we may as well bully our way around like a world policeman because we would rather that all the world is like the US/UK".

It has to be allowed to happen naturally, if it happens at ALL, as the 13 colonies of King George naturally and in due course took the decisions to resist tyranny by themselves when the time was right, or ripe.

Nobody intervened on behalf of the 13 colonies, they fought it out tooth and nail against the Red Coats and won. So the Syrian rebels must do the same thing.

The US/UK maniacs are jumping in all around the world intervening and nation building and it is wrong. And it causes blow-back. It it will continue to cause blow-back. And all the NSA Homeland Security Obama Drones of Destruction and NTSA gropings at airports and iris scans and RFID chips and CCTVs and satellite images WILL NOT STOP THE BLOW-BACK, as it is a natural reaction to a foreign force meddling in your business.
