(62,325 posts)stopped arming and propping up dictators, like Karamov in Uzbekistan, or the Bahrain dictatorship as we are doing, or in the past, all the dictators we have supported, armed and financed. If you think removing that support from brutal dictators would have had no effect on world peace, I guess that explains your current desire to rush into yet another deadly war.
I asked, and you failed to answer, what would be different about a US invasion (to help the Syrian people) of Syria, than the US invasion (to help the Iraqi people) of Iraq? How many dead Syrians from the necessary WMDs we would need to fight the Assad regime, are acceptable to you? A million, like Iraq, tens of thousands, like Afghanistan? How many of those innocent people are you willing to sacrifice to get your invasion going?
And you didn't answer my other question either, will be joining the military in order to fight in Syria?
Frankly I'm hopeful that this president is smarter than the last one and will continue to resist the Neo-cons pressure to invade another country on their list in the ME.
