11. I'm not OK with the deaths of anyone. Where did you get the idea

that I am. I'm not OK with the deaths of those who died from being gassed, and I'm not OK with the deaths of innocent people who have died in drone attacks, either. You will not find me saying I'm OK with any of that, because I'm not.

I'm not OK with warfare. That does not mean that I do not recognize that warfare exists. It does exist, and management of it is a very difficult thing, and way beyond my abilities.

Your assumption about me is incorrect. Please don't assume you know how I feel about anything. You're always welcome to just ask me, and I will tell you. In the case of Syria, the answer is that I'm not sure what should happen. I am sure that people have died, and equally sure that more will die, whatever happens.

That's why I'm not in favor of warfare. But, again, I'm not in any way in control of warfare.
