Kerry, didn't you learn your lesson when you voted for bush's wars? America has bigger problems and shouldn't get involved in yet another Middle East war. We need to get off of big oil. Democrats, especially, should understand that big oil is the enemy of the American people and democracy.

Detroit? Education? Why not spend the billions of dollars it will cost to wage war on Syria to help America first?

Yeah, yeah, I know we need to show Assad that he can't use chemical weapons especially since he was warned before. But why not get a broad coalition to run this new Middle East war. And while you're at it, have Saudi Arabia or Dubai pay for it. You know, those extremely rich countries? Or better yet, lets call the whole thing off.
