I love when brutal dictators get to use chemical weapons.

10. WWII had absolutely jackshit to do with the holocaust

If the plight of German Jews was such a concern for the Allies, they wouldn't have turned away boatloads of refugees coming to their shores.

The US entered WWII because Japan attacked. The US fought Hitler because he attacked our allies in Europe. Most Americans had no idea about the holocaust until the camps were liberated.

And while we're on the topic of lack of understanding, no one is in favor of anyone using chemical weapons. To suggest people are opposed to intervention in Syria because they're just fine with CWs being used is complete horseshit. The Syrian civil war has turned into a massive proxy war between the Arab states and Iran, and us jumping into the fray is only going to exacerbate tensions in the region and cause Syria to devolve into a chaotic power vacuum even quicker, and given how we wouldn't be able to even secure the sarin reserves without boots on the ground, Assad or the rebels would be fully capable of still using them.

So, please, get off the moralistic high horse and try to at least understand that this isn't a black and white issue, and people oppose intervention because they understand that.
