Am I a bad liberal/Democrat because I'm torn on the Syria issue?

15. I am opposed because so far, I haven't seen any intelligent plans put forth.

If we had a goal that I could get behind, that would be one thing. If we had an idea other than bombing a few useless buildings with missiles that cost $1.5 million a pop, that would be something to consider.

But we've ruled out regime change, with good reason. The Rebels are not George Washington from Syria, they're pretty bad guys too.

We can't bomb the Chemical weapons themselves, because that would release them into the air, causing untold thousands of deaths. Gassing the people of Syria to punish Assad for gassing the people of Syria is even dumber than handing the Country over to the AQ backed rebels.

Again, give me a goal that is well considered, and well thought out, and has a chance in hell of working, and I'll reconsider my position. For right now though, with what I know, I have to be one of the voices in opposition.

I understand your instinctive and heartfelt response. It pains me whenever people are slaughtered wholesale. But I am limited in my thinking to what is reasonable, and what is actually something we can reasonably expect to accomplish.
