(4,876 posts)Do you know who you should be supporting in Syria? Assad? Rebels? Al-Quaeda? The Free Syrian Army? Do you know which of those are Sunni, which are Shia, who is anti-American and who is pro-American? Do you know who is telling the truth when they tell you they are "pro-American"?
I have never regarded America as "pro-peace". We are a WAR nation. We live, breathe and feed on destruction. We have a populace that doesn't think it has enough guns, We have a Military Industrial Complex that gets more money than education,health care and Social Security combined. We love watching our Shock and Awe campaigns on TV complete with play by play and color commentary.
Having us interfere in civil war is like having George Zimmerman on your neighborhood watch.
