(84,711 posts)Where is this GROWING DRUMBEAT for MILITARY RESPONSE AROUND THE WORLD?
WHERE? WHERE?
Look at the USA POLL NUMBERS...there's NO DRUMBEAT!
is all I can say as a DU'er who stood on Street Corners, Behind Citizen Barriers and did ALL I COULD to stop the Iraq Invasion and kept it up in Peace Vigils for over a Year after in my Capitol City in the SOUTH!
It's such a Sharp Stick in My Eye..and in my HEART!
This is all we have now. The "Candle Vigil" that something will stop this and if not now...then one day in the future and more and more WAKE UP.
This is really so Distressing and OTT....

FROM YOUR POST:
The State Department fed the growing drumbeat around the world for a military response to Syria's suspected use of chemical weapons against rebels Aug. 21 near Damascus, saying that while the U.S. intelligence community would release a formal assessment within the week, it was already "crystal clear" that Assad's government was responsible.
