If there's one thing that gets my gonads in a twist, it's the American government talking about "intervening" in this or that conflict. It's not our war. There's no way of telling what the effects of our involvement might be. After Gadahfi was ousted in Lybia all of his mercenaris from Mali went back to their homeland with all of their weapons and caused havoc in the civil war that was already going on and now Al Qaeda is gaining more and more power there, and it was all because of the Arab Spring.

And now we're talking about interfering in Syria without any respect for the law of unintended consequences? **** this bull****. And the idea that we're only going to do limited bombing is a crock. We were only going to do limited bombing in Kosovo. Clinton promised that there would be no troops on the ground. But, shockingly, the bombing didn't work and troops were deployed. Not to mention we didn't have Russia and China breathing down out backs in Kosovo. It's tragic what's happening in Syria but the truth is that it's Syria's problem, not ours. Sending our men and women to die in a foreign country for a conflict that has nothing to do with them just because people feel bad is short-sighted and idiotic.
