So I asked my friends from Syria about my "I support intervention" stance.

[Just Saying]

36. Definitely an interesting perspective.

I feel for the people in Syria and would actually prefer that we use our resources for humanitarian efforts along with the UN but I realize that's being overly optimistic. I really don't want to see us get involved in another war for a number of reasons including the loss of civilian and American lives, the cost and the futility of involving ourselves in another country's civil war. Seeing the gassing of civilians is heartbreaking but it's just so complicated.

Thanks for posting the point of view of Syrians. We can do all the research in the world, but the best perspectives come from the people themselves although they clearly aren't all in agreement. I'm not sure how we would go about removing Assad if we even have the will and authority which is questionable.

And don't even stress about those who think personal attacks are a form of debate. I feel like their tactics reveal either a very weak argument or complete inability to express their point of view. Some people think being loud and nasty makes them right but Rush Limbugh proved that false long ago. And there's always the alert button if they go too far. There are supposed to be standards here.
