(2,424 posts)My main opposition to the Iraq war is centered on the corporate vision to build a corporate colony. I am not in to nation building for financial moguls.
I do, however, believe that any leader that uses chemical weapons on his own civilian populace should be brought to justice.
I am all for deposing Assad based upon his decision of mass murder. I would prefer that it would be done via aiding insurgents and using "no fly" zones.
I draw the line at being a bystander to gassing civilians, ethnic cleansing, or mass, indiscriminate murder, but don't go in with a carpetbagger vision to install a favorable government afterwards. Simply execute the perpetrators of mass murder and walk away.
I am against war in general, but stopping mass murder is a legitimate reason. Not oil. Not nation building.
Stop the mass murder and leave. It the mass murder starts again, kill the leadership and walk away again. Continue to do so until the message is clear that it is a death sentence for a leader to commit mass murder on his civilians.
