21. Well then, You're local and have just about unlimited resources financially

So, Saudi Arabia, if you think something needs to be done then you feel free to do so.

Why the USA, thousands of miles away and in no danger of having its borders or people endangered by Syria should step up and do some action is beyond me.

It's your fricking neighborhood there in the Middle East. You guys step up and patrol it and defend the people.

If the Syrian regime is gassing people then yes, it's as horrible as Hitler. So get off your local asses and do something.

I'm really very tired of the world expectation that the USA should be the moral, physical leader of the world.

If you actually know history the USA didn't win WWII. The Russians beat the crap out of the Nazis.
