(6,891 posts)The President is not legally authorized to declare unilateral war under our Constitution, the UN Charter and any number of international treaties going back to Nuremberg unless an immanent threat can be shown to exist against our territory. I would suggest that since you think Americans should fight to avenge Syria's children, it begin with you. Go to Saudi Arabia or Israel, I'm sure either of these countries would be more than happy to smuggle you and your self-righteous indignation to the Syrian rebels since they both have a dog in the fight, but couldn't care less about Syrians. Since tens or thousands of children have been slaughtered like sheep in the Middle East since 2003, I'm rather amazed you haven't gone yet, but since all sides have been shameless murderess of children over the last decade it might be hard to pick the right one. Good luck.
