I am sure minds better than mine can come up with something like going after their oil refineries- I am certainly not privy to all that is going on over there. We have looked the other way countless times when things even worse than this have happened all over the world. Why this? Why now? Because the President needs to save face? Pride? And especially when there are millions of our own who desperately need help here at home. Historically we have yet to have a successful intervention in the middle east.
I am sure we can come up with the better idea than to kill their people because they are already killing their own people.
When does they violence stop? Instead we teach them that violence is acceptable if we believe we are right. They believe they are right and justified also. We will not change their minds by acting like they do. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. And the world becomes blind and toothless.
