I bleed red. I support intervention in Syria. [View all]

Honestly, I have supported it for a while now.

I want the US military to go in, remove that murdering asshole from power, escort his generals to the Hague, and then offer support to the people of Syria while they put the pieces back together.

The people of Syria are victims of murder by an oppressive government. They have done everything they can do, and at this point, somebody with a bigger stick needs to come in and save them from their oppressors.

Yes, I realize this is making the United States a "police force" against tyranny, oppression and murder. I am good with it. I don't want us to be there to "prop up" anyone.

I just want us to go in, take the bad guy out, and help out just like we would if a natural disaster took over - you know, let them tell us what they need, and then make sure supplies get where they need to be while the shock wears off.

Get in, take them out, offer the support decent human beings offer when a neighbor has gone through a tragedy, and then get out.

I have children. I am a human being. The families in Syria who are burying their dead are my brothers and sisters, and their children were supposed to be part of my future.

The world is both a small and a big place. State sanctioned murder of civilians - have you seen the photos of the dead? - is an abomination.

The number of dead should not be this high.

I support intervention in Syria.
