Really?!!! [View all]

Are we really going to bomb another country that hasn't attacked us?
This involves the entire middle east from Israel to Afghanistan not to mention Russia and China. Our entire country opposes the idea. Something like 9% support the idea.
The world will be pissed at us.
The country will become even more divided that it was thought possible.

What could go wrong?

Is it time to say that if we are actually going to do this in a effort to stop countries from using chemical warfare, that we should just bomb the shit out of them and wipe Syria off the face of the map. That would DEFINITELY send the message!
I mean, if you're going to play God... you better be almighty!
What are we going to accomplish?

Are you sure this is the way to go?

Hey!.. how about this... Give peace a chance and lets see what happens just for kicks.
