President Obama is NOT a tool of the banks/MIC, a liar or a murderous warmonger

[Nay]

143. My post wasn't meant to be exhaustive, that's for sure---your points are good additions.

I guess I want more rational discussion rather than the war drumbeats that get everyone riled up. And when someone points out that that monster Kim Jong-un is starving tens of thousands of his own people in N Korea and why aren't we marching into there, I'd like that addressed, rather than it be treated as a non-question. Personally, if we wanted to save lots of ppl, we should have taken over the ppl's republic of the congo, which has been raping and killing thousands of women and children for many years. My point, ultimately, is to try to tease out WHY Syria is different, and why, in that specific case, are we interfering.
After all, we are 'watching people die' in those other 2 places, just as quick examples.

Another metapoint is the cost of all this -- at what point do we recognize that we don't have the money to do this? That our own citizens may need some help first, esp in an economic downturn and with climate change closing in on us?
