I'd like to ask DU's military strike supporters a few questions

[cali]

11. a response: first of all, no doing nothing would not make things worse.

things might get worse, but they'd be getting worse on their own, not because of an intervention. this is pretty basic. the rest of that particular response is just silly and not close to being germane.

Yes, of course it's getting worse on its own. It's a civil war with deep sectarian roots.

The taking out Assad option involves boots on the ground in Syria and it involves killing civilians. period. no military analyst says anything to the contrary.

"Israel will kick their ass" is just dumb. and deplorable. again lots of civilian deaths- which YOU are purportedly trying to avoid.

And btw, The U.N. has also reported the use of chemical weapons by the rebels.

Your question is unclear. Are you asking who would attack U.S. interests if the U.S. launched military strikes? What on earth does the world sitting back, as you put it, in the case of the Assad's use of chemical weapons have to do with that?
