Yay! We'll be arming Al-Qaeda in Syria

[Savannahmann]

10. A couple of months ago

I got into an argument with another user about what was going to happen because of a foolish armature mistake and the speech about red lines. A post got hidden by jury decision, for attacking the individual who insisted that President Obama had made no mistake in that speech. I said at the time, that when all of this happened, I would not care. To date I have not posted in one single thread about Syria since that time.

So I don't care that we are going to be the poster boy of stupid actions by arming the group we've been at notional war with for twelve years.

I don't care that when I look at the situation, I am reminded of the Eastern Front of World War II. Where the forces of the brutal dictator Hitler were defeated by the forces of the brutal dictator Stalin. I just don't care.

I don't care that no matter who wins, the victors will hate us just a little more, partially from our delayed decisions, and partially from the long history the combatants have of hating one thing more than their current combat enemy, us.

I don't care that some of the refugee's we're talking about taking in will almost certainly be terrorists that are smart enough not to email so that PRISM is denied the ability to identify them.

I just don't care. And I'm not going to care ever. And here is why. I live in South Georgia, and the chances of the Terrorists backing either the AQ aligned rebels, or the brutal dictator Assad, attacking South Georgia is pretty darned slim, so this is just not my problem. Go on, have your silly little war, with your silly little drones, and kill each other all you want. I'm not going to speak out when we bomb them, and when they bomb us, It's just none of my business.

My position is absolute neutrality and complete disinterest in the issue of Syria. When a few thousand Syrians die, I am not going to feel like it is any of my business. When AQ blows up a group of American's, civilian or military, I am going to have exactly the same reaction, it is none of my business, and doesn't affect me in the slightest.

Good bye boys, have a good time storming the castle.
