This is like the very core of the Geneva Convention. We do care about some things more than others. However, genocide is something we normally will intervene on, if its with conventional weapons or not.What the fuck are you talking about? We couldn't have given a shit that tens of thousands of people have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced by conventional weapons. Children blown apart by shelling neighborhoods with mortars. Whole villages taken out & slaughtered, the men decapitated and the women raped to death. And yet we did nothing. And not just in Syria. I'm talking Rwanda, North Korea, India, Kyrgyzstan, ... The list goes on and on. But suddenly someone uses gas - who is undetermined because they showed us physical evidence of the Iraqi danger as well - and we get all high & mighty and want to go in guns a-blazing? This is NOT the job of the US as an independent entity! This has GOT to be a UN mandate or it's nothing more than imperialistic posturing.
And yeah, the fact that we did nothing in Rwanda and the other places is atrocious. I seem to understand that more than the rest of you, because I am saying we do something about it this time. You guys seem ok with nothing being done, yet again. We stayed out of Rwanda for the same reasons you are arguing here.
It was wrong then
It's wrong now.[DOUBLEPOST=1378318586,1378318377][/DOUBLEPOST]As for who comes next. That's. That's hard. It would be hard either way. If you want the easy solution then just back Assad. He's safe right? The truth is that there are no easy answers here. Sorry.
