Watching John Kerry give Colin Powell's speech I am disgusted

60. We're not claiming the attack didn't happen.

It is disingenuous for you to keep stating so.

We're questioning the unilateral rush to aggressive military action before the UN inspectors complete their investigation and publish their findings.

We demand independent, incontrovertible evidence that the Assad regime perpetrated this attack before we start killing human beings. All we have seen is yellow journalism urging military action, and no hard evidence. Nothing but emotional appeals based upon horrific images of death. Instead of "Remember the Maine!" we're getting "Think of the children!" As if the hellstorm we're about to visit on the Syrian people won't take its own toll on innocent bystanders, and as if the Administration's drone wars don't generate their own (unseen) horrific images on a weekly basis.

We object to picking and choosing which horrific violence is "an unfortunate necessity" and which is "an atrocity" based upon political loyalties.
