The arab states said they will pay 100 percent of our war. Saudi Arabia has already spent billions on the rebel cause in Syria. Why? Maybe they're scared of getting gassed. Maybe it was the discovery of natural gas in Syria. Maybe Assad didn't let them build oil pipelines.

There are many theories, but we sure did overlook many atrocities up to this point. It is hard to believe that 1000 deaths are the motivation after over 100000 have died and I'm not sure how destabilizing Syria with bombing and more innocent lives lost seems like a good idea to our administration. I was feeling pretty bad for the Syrian people, but thankfully, this crisis has been delayed or averted.
