What do you think about this Syria thing, as an american?

I don't have that title for nothing, it had to be done.

[Miwiw]

I'm 'murican and I say, INVADE!

Part of me wants to say "screw these people, they aren't our problem. Let them chimp out on each other all they want."

Then I see video of people who have been attacked with neurotoxic chemicals and napalm and have their eyeballs melted, their nervous system destroyed, piles of bodies on floors, and it makes me think "boy that really sucks".

So with both of those perspectives combined my final stance sums up roughly to "iunno, im just gonna play video games dude".

[Clockworkkiller]

i dont really care about it, i mean, i know it sounds harsh and bad shit that shouldnt be happening is going on over there, but i just dont care
maybe also cause i dont know the details of it, all i know is "goverement vs rebels, US is supplying someone, innocent people got killed for no reason"
but i just havent care enough to pay attention, maybe if someone can fill me in on the details?

i like to focus more on the probelms here in the states, problems that are going on all around me.

well either way we all know the U.N will send NATO to do something in this(i thought i saw on the news that France was saying they were going to send airstrikes, and we are sending Missiles from our ships at sea) and our president said we will not be sending troops in as of now, which i think is what most people dont want to happen(we just ended a war, and i think our people need time to mend the wounds before we have more fallen heroes).

 From my view point, either way if we shoot them from the fuckin ocean we still spend like 3 million every missile, to blow them up, so we still go farther into debt.  But somebody needs to help the people out there, because, its sad that they cant even sleep in their own beds now without fear of not waking up the next morning or finding their children all dead.  I would prefer if we didnt send troops to Syria as i feel it will just be another "world police action from America" kinda thing, but then again, you dont see any other country ever step up to the plate and put out the same effort that we do.  Granted you all sent troops to help fight alongside us in several wars, but it was only to hold that political right to say "ya we helped" when you only sent 1 regiment to  our 100. 

So TL:DR, someones has to do something to help these poor folks out or are you ok with letting a leader walk away and live in a Mediterranean side palace in the lap of luxury knowing he just slaughtered his country in the name of "peace and prosperity for Syria".

I'd say the country being weary of "war" is a lot smaller problem in this case for intervention, than let's say Iranian, or Russian interests in that region.

Just my 2 cents thou

Also would Obama and co. really give two fucks about the chem attack, if Syria wouldn't have any natural resources?

[Malaclypse]

What do you think about this Syrian thing, as a grain of sand on an infinite beach?

[pingpong]

OBAMA IS JUST ANOTHER PUPPET, THE TRUE POWER LIES WITHIN NEOCON INDUSTRIALISTS OF THE MILITARY-INDUSTRY COMPLEX, AKA THE 1% THEY OWN THESE CORPORATIONS WHO MAKE MONEY OFF THESE WARS, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE WW2, JUST READ HISTORY MAN, ITS ALL THERE!! AMERICA IS NOT LAND OF THE FREE ITS CORPORATOCRACY OR MORE LIKE CORPORATECRAZY!!

[Casimir]

These are my opinions, I'm not the best informed man in the world but this is how I see it.

One day politicians will learn that peace can be delivered without military intervention.  That will be the day their halls of 'democracy' cave in around them and they finally listen to the will of the people.

Embroiling ones nation in another's civil war will never result in a long term solution. The best situation would be to establish a safe zone for civilians protected by UN forces and let the factions duke it out. If you go into the civilian zone you don't leave simple as.

Furthermore will someone please explain to me why Assad or the Syrian military would authorise the use of chemical weapons a matter of days after allowing UN arms inspectors into the country to investigate?  Bearing in mind that the forces fighting Assad have direct ties to Hezbollah and terrorist organisations which our governments tell us could detonate dirty bombs in our cities if they don't 'protect' us. It makes absolutely no sense.

Also why has America said nothing to Saudi after they admitted financing Chechen terrorists while clearly outlining their plans of war profiteering?

John Kerry claims America acts on a strong and consistent set of morals but this is a bare faced lie. The only consistent theme in American foreign policy is the loss of civilian life and the lack of a long term strategy.

Without a UN mandate supported by Russia the US has no justification for getting involved. Until the UN arms inspectors come back with conclusive evidence it is as immoral to intervene as it is to do nothing.  America needs to cooperate with Russia and Arab states (Iran, Jordan etc.) in order to bring this conflict to an end.

Dropping bombs on a country tearing itself apart with civil war is like pouring petrol on a fire. Someone will get burnt.

Syria should be ignored, intervention won't help anyone.
