So I hear that we are divided here on DU about war with Syria

36. No, just to you.

Since you seem to think potentially pissing off Iran and Hezbollah isn't a good reason to avoid attacking Syria. Also, that ridiculous comment about blowback which seems to ignore the fact that we have embassies in Jordan, Iraq, and Turkey, all of which border Syria and have their share of extremists that would rally against another American military adventure in the region.

I'm pretty sure a lot of innocent people in Lebanon are concerned about getting Hezbollah riled and the potential for Iran to further their support, especially if they emerge as a possible agent for Iranian influence in Syria. The last time that group really got riled, Israel ended up leveling entire neighborhoods of Beirut.

So, yes, your comment was blatantly ignorant of how the ME works, and was riddled with the shortsightedness that brought about these kinds of situations in the first place.
