Guys, what the fuck is the pushback against tangling with Syria? The line. They crossed THE LINE.

58. In the face of a reported over 90,000 dead in this outrage, I think that Syria has not reached a

tipping point where a majority of the population wants to have regime change. It may be arrangeable by supplying weapons or outside troops. What? We need another Iraq? We need to bring down another non-theocratic government? How stable is Iraq right now? Once the majority of folks decided to bring down the USSR( an extremely centrally controlled system that withstood the Third Reich, internal genocides, NATO, the CIA, etc) four days and a handful of casualties to bring it down.

I think what is happening in Syria is horrendous. I also think outside influencers may well have made it worse. I find the possibility of US or NATO or UN troop fighting along side of al Qaeda or other mujahedin forces surreal in light of everything thats happened since Russia invaded Afghanistan.

There's a lot of lessons to be learned in a photo of Sen McCain with a shit eating grin on his face standing next to a couple of murdering kidnappers.
