   Who is going to lead the charge to remove Assad? Surely not America.

   I saw a good quote yesterday. The Arab uprisings began when Arabs lost fear of their leaders. The uprisings have stalled because Arabs still fear each other.

   Well, yeah. Now that their thugs can use giant speakers on us for “crowd control” to bloody our eardrums, and can mace us with impunity.

   And we fear our banks because if they slash their own thoats with stupid trade losses, our tax dollars will cover their losses.

   Ah, capitalism.

   Nobody HAS A CLUE what will actually happen if Assad goes! It’s a total potential mess, just like everything else our (or the west’s) intervention has caused in the Middle East, going back to even before 1948. (Like Mobil “creating” Saudi Arabia in 1923 economically.)

   Only liberals fear corporations and wall street and only because they don’t understand them.

   Let the UN lead the charge. America can stand back and complain how they are screwing up and whine about removing Assad is illegal.

    Where is Obama leading the charge to put out the wildfires? He can do anything as long as it involves golf.

    It is amazing how the demented cons want us to wade into another war. Again, with no strategic interest, no plan, no exit strategy, and this time with no allies or even remotely sufficient forces available. I suggest you get on a plane, make it to the border, and throw yourself at the Syrian regime.

    Romney the Chickenhawk may want to invade somewhere. Syria is probably as good a place as any, now that Iraq has been established as an outpost of Freedom.

    @braindead08

    Not really, as Syria is armed to the teeth and has Russian and Iranian support.

    No war has an ‘exit strategy’. In fact, if a country doesn’t plan to completely destroy the other country there is no reason to declare war. America has had ‘friendly skirmishes’ with other countries because we play war ‘nice’. War is to break things and kill the enemy. Not to capture them and give them prayer rugs and quorans and whatever food they want and access to lawyers.
    I say we sit back and watch other countries pick the bones of Syria.

    Go on over to Syria and show them what you’re made of. Maybe they can tell you your fortune while they are looking at your bowels.
