It's the people of Syria who are reaping what the US government has sown...those bombs aren't falling on us, those destroyed hospitals aren't in any US cities, the children being killed are Syrian not American!

The reality is that the US should have gotten more involved, or just stayed out of it...sitting on the fence, insisting that Assad had to go, not knowing which rebel group was just a front for ISIL, all of that helped to create the catastrophe in Syria and made it even worse!!!

Those people are being killed to send a message to the next group of would be rebels...THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES,TOO!!!!
