Simplistic, emotionally charged, we must intervene now OPs

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Well there are valid reasons not to intervene

mostly who is who in the opposition is murky, and many elements are Al Qaida. So we will be the AF for Al Qaida, which worst case scenario takes over the place, will have no qualms about using those weapons against our interests in the region.

Of course the absolute worst case is triggering a regional war, but they... we need a new war I 'spose.

And we really do not know YET who deployed those weapons. The intel people say it was the Syrian government, but witnesses on the ground speak of a possible horrible accident. Both, yes it is possible, might be right.

I know I have been keeping an eye on Syria for close to two years now, and the only thing I can say is that the situation has become real murky over the last six months, with proxy wars being fought in the area by multiple parties.
