I don't enjoy GD anymore

100. I am one who makes an issue of who used them

Now I get that this has made me a "peace purist" or a "nattering nabob of negativism," or perhaps even a "cheese-eating surrender monkey," that doesn't bother me. It concerns me that rather than wait for the UN to actually investigate the situation, our president basically declared war then and there. it's the sort of thing I think we should be certain about before we start thinking about getting involved.

I have to express bewilderment that so many other posters here are perfectly cool with just flying off the handle on this. The decision to just go blow shit up in another nation is taken so very cavalierly. I suppose for many here, their endless advocacy for drone strikes as morphed into a general case of blowshituppus syndrome?

There's also the question - do dead Syrians give a shit whether they're poisoned with sarin or torn to shreds by tomahawk missiles? Is one murder somehow more righteous, more honorable, more deserved? It's okay when we do it, because we do it with flame, metal, and concussive force?

It's the sort of thing that should be weighed carefully and if entered into, entered into cautiously.
