I simply don't get it...Why bother bombing a country torn asunder already by years of civil war? What will that accomplish? Yes, that conflict is terrible and yes the use of Chemical weapons is abhorrent but what purpose would lobbing a bunch of cruise missiles, drone strikes and presumably smart bombs possibly serve? In what world would the Assad regime suddenly learn some sort of incalculable "lesson?" I obviously cannot condone anything happening in Syria but who gives a fuck what I think, or anyone thinks, in this country. Sure, if there was somehow some way that this Syrian civil war directly threatened us then I suppose it's something to consider but getting mired in yet another pointless conflict in the middle east seems ridiculous at this stage in the game.
Not that any of our previous, endless conflicts of this millennium had any real point but you'd think we would have learned by now. Expensive, messy, and stupid and just another of the billions of reasons that our government is an entity that functions of it's own accord and has little to nothing to do with the "American people" anymore. Sure, they do press conferences and play the charade that we are all somehow in this together but it gets more and more obvious that we are just an endless, confused rabble that is at best poorly represented by an unworkable, conflicted "congress" of rich people who could give a shit what you or I think, want, need...Fuck it...Let's Frack some shit, bomb some Syrians because, whatever, fuck them.
Seriously, what will killing more people in a place filled with death accomplish or mean? Now that Britain has backed down the U.S. is now left alone holding it's dick and currently Congress is skeptical and IF Obama does bomb Syria then he's a war mongering asshat who should be impeached. Dollars to donuts says IF he does the right thing, and backs down and leaves Syria to kill themselves as they have been, then Obama will probably be labeled a coward with no convictions or some such bullshit. Which, I fear, is a real shitty thing to think that we now have to pointlessly murder a bunch of Syrians from the air because the alternative would mean "looking weak politically." Which is just freaking mental, "Gotta save face and do what I say and mean what I mean!" *thousands of Syrians randomly killed by U.S. rockets and bombs, only thing that changes is that shit is somehow even worse for Syria*
Makes me sick.
