    Reminds me of the old (10 years old) quip… We’re between Iraq and a hard place.

    But really, this is a tough one. If I thought that the motives of “world leadership” were really altruistic, I would be all for a major thrust to oust the Syrian regime and help a new one form.

    But… I fear that at best, we’ll go half-assed, leaving things in even worse chaos and disarray- and a breeding ground for pissed-off fundamentalists (aka, terrorists). Or, we’ll just put in a weak puppet government (a-la Afghanistan), and it would still be done for some geopolitical-financial purpose. Leaving the people maybe even worse off than they were before.

    As far as the immediate situation- I just don’t know what a limited attack will do to help anyone. At least, if we are going to use force, we should be sure to take out Syria’s offensive capabilities. I don’t think force is the answer though. I wish I knew what is the answer (I’d write to Obama immediately :-)… ), but I think it lies in the area of building, communication, assistance, etc. and not destruction. Maybe I’m just idealistic, but we’ve seen how well the destructive approach works….

    Cheers!

    Precisely.

    All of these other (to paraphrase one of them) sheeple- or are they really the trolls- are completely misconstruing what we’re saying. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING RICH!!!! I Am Not Envious! Steve Jobs is a hero. He earned every one of those billion pennies.

    Thank you R. Troll for underscoring this- there are too few Jobs (hmm. Is there a pun in there?) and Gates, etc and too many Banksters.

    It’s amazing that the current crop of robber barons makes the old crop look positively altruistic!!
