Are you for or against intervening in Syria?

[Beanz]

So basically Miles was as wrong as Lyle in his riot thread. It makes no difference though because he just likes a rant. Empty vessel. International law only when it suits his politics.

Eh? Britain might be out of it, but America might well be going ahead as planned, so don't count your chickens.

I'm all for international law, unlike a lot of so called law professors and politicians. I don't believe it is our fight and we won't be thanked for anything by marching in with a 'show of force'. There is still no evidence that Assad was responsible and we know who has a history of using chemical weapons. And lest we forget, we actively supported Saddam when he did use chemical weapons. If we were to intervene in Syria there would have been a case in 2011 as argued by the Robert Fisk over at the Independent, but to say we now have to get involved over an inconclusive chemical attack. Well, that is picking an arbitrary time for intervention considering a hundred thousand and more are dead already. You can't just pick a side and bomb them and use doctored and fabricated evidence which we have a history of doing. WMD anyone? Evidence that Bin Laden orchestrated 9-11? Gulf of Tonkin? Etc etc.

At least be genuine and say you want to help people. Don't talk about protecting US interests and red lines just to display force to Iran in order to make Israel happy. That in itself is a blatant disregard for everyone suffering in Syria. America couldn't give two hoots about anyone in the Middle East, history has shown it time and time again. Even now nobody cares about the Syrians. All I read in the papers is how we might have hurt our standing with America. Are these people serious? Is that really the crux of the argument?

It is pathetic. The simpering politicians of the UK right through to the sociopathic US political realm....they are hideous. We have taken sides and are channeling resources to the rebels. Surely if you are to get involved then that is enough. Let Iran and Hezbollah support Assad and let America and Britain support the terrorist factions. However, arbitrarily bombing places, would be doing nothing more than to say 'Look Iran, we have bigger weapons'. Posturing that will only slaughter Syrians, though Obama likes to wipe out people from the air as we well know.

Yep and more innocent people will be hurt except by us this time and then their kids will grow up to hate our kids and they'll get caught up in the other bullshit religion and go train in the deserts to bring more of our buildings down or our public down by bombing more innocents off earth.

The leaders of these waring countries and opposing religions are the ones who we should be removing off the face of the Earth not the general public who always get crushed as the pawns these days.

== vengeance and so it goes on like a cancer from the heads down.

Here you go Brockton...

So what after obama gets the nod from congress in ten days what exactly will be the first stage of action?

1. Bomb syria
2. Drop bombs on syria
3. Use cruise missiles on syria
4. Bomb russia for getting cheeky.

[walrus]

Well, like George Carlin said, America loves to bomb brown people.

I think we should do it. Basaad or whatever his name is is getting crazy. He needs a spanking. Only problem being many of his opponents are Al Queda sympathizers. Kind of a win lose situation. Since we (the US) are declining in status around the world, let's show off some of our hardware to keep everyone in check.

[Gandalf]

What a great attitude: 'Let's kill some people, just to show that we are tough'. If Assad is crazy, then surely you would have to agree that Obama is equally crazy. As far as I know Assad has never assasinated anyone in America which is precisely what America did to Bin Laden in Pakistan. If you are to use the word crazy for one situation then you have to apply it to another. Assad isn't droning people in Israel on a weekly basis. Assad is defending himself in a civil war, the basic logic to apply is that this is nothing to do with Obama and by logical extension that Obama himself is crazy for getting involved in something nobody else wants to be involved in.

[Beanz]

So now you are an apologist for Bin Laden? Get a grip Miles.

[Gandalf]

Nope,just covert assasinsination on sovereign land resulting in blatant murder and no attempt to capture him. Very illegal.

In doing so we would be the Air Force for Al Qaeda....you cool with that?

Unless there is a strong strategy for the afteremath, I feel too that attacking Syria will only bring a loadshit of new problems rather than solutions.
