Coming from the people who accuse the anti-intervention crowd here of not giving a shit about chemical weapons and dead children.

There wouldn't have been a fucking call for Congress to vote on it if the public here hadn't put the pressure on or Parliament hadn't so resoundingly said no.

I'm proud of the peace purists who so vocally have said no to intervention only to allow the president and other elected officials to take the credit.
