(538 posts)All of this has been so odd I just don't understand why President Obama has become so willing to bomb Syria, yet another country that has not attacked us. WE all know the definition of insanity, doing the same things over again and expecting different results. When will our leaders realize bombs for peace doesn't work? I believe there are other ways to punish Assad other than bombing him, and the US needs to explore every one of them! Sadly, the main reason why so many Republicans in congress have suddenly become Peaceniks is because they do not support anything our President does.
However, to have our Democratic leaders become so willing to start another WAR in the middle east, especially when our country's the poor and elderly are starving and need shelter, our roads and bridges need to be repaired, our unemployment rates are growing hire, and meanwhile we haven't really done anything to prevent Wall Street and our financial system from collapsing, is very disturbing and creepy! I really think they're "Pod" people and their brains have been sucked out and replaced with war mongering Reagan type Republicans.
