Let's say more a moment that the U.S. bombs Syria ... what then ?

This is pretty much where I'm at. A strike or war is likely to cause nothing but destruction and death, doing nothing is likely to allow the same destruction and death. Two bad choices, both ways thousand die. I'd like to see the UN come out with some reconstruction plan like we used to do post WW2 (for Iraq and Afghanistan also) but that doesn't seem likely. It's a clusterfvck.

Me personally, I think its stupid!!! It's their war let them deal with it! We have enough problems here in America but yet we're still in the Middle East as it is! We just can't keep our noses out of other people's business, which therefore causes more problems for us. I know for a fact that if we declare war on Syria then it will be WWIII for damn sure, not a doubt about it!

And at the end of the day, neither you, me, nor 99.999% of the human populace really have any idea what's really going on. I am very impressed with your summary and I see you share my frustration and fatigue, and disappointment with humans in general. One can wish and hope for the best til your blue in the face and yet, at any minute, it all goes up in smoke so rapidly. And then the daily body count becomes about as compelling as noon news in central Kansas. After Viet Nam wound down, I sincerely hoped that was that. Hmm! No such luck. Anyway, lets cross our fingers and pay closer attention to our lives and those around us.

The unsavoury group al-Qaeda affiliate is called al-Nusrat Front. It is one of the smallest groups in the conflict. The largest rebel group by far is the Free Syrian Army, which is primarily made up of army deserters. The idea that most of the rebels are al-Qaeda terrorists is propaganda promoted by the Assad regime.

It's an unpopular position, but I support an attack on the Assad regime who has shown itself to be absolutely horrific. Most people are against interventionism, but I think if there is a way to weaken evil murderous dictators without putting our own troops in harm's way, then we should do it.

If you want to understand the only chance for resolving this conflict without starting a USA vs Iran war, read this informative article (2nd link below), just published, which argues why US military intervention in Syria is wrong but also why the President has a rare, diplomatic opportunity to show us all how the artless pragmatism of war can be replaced by the diplomacy of wisdom.

What happens. Two years later, terrorists do something to pay us back and we won't admit that it is self-defense. An eye for an eye makes both people blind.

It stops when we install a US-controlled puppet - who will get thrown out in 2 decades by fundamentalist Muslims...

Nobel Peace Price LOL

1)Zionists want WW3 in order to make Billy from Saw movie one world leader aka antichrist.

2)Assad did NOT use chemical weapons.

3)The rebels (paid by Zionist masons) did use them weapons.
