Possible Western military response to Syrian chemical weapons use

[Hatman 🍁]

We have far more pressing matters to attend to at home.

So, Americans are more important than Syrians?

Last time I checked, the Cripps aren't bombing villages with chemical weapons. Not to say gangs in America aren't a problem, but problems in the US are nowhere near other parts of the world.

So why exactly should America fix a problem that we did not create? Why should we solve their problems? America is NOT the policeman of the world, contrary to what the neocons say?

The world needs a police force. It shouldn't just be the US though.

But, we should intervene, not because we created the problem, but because we are in the best position to solve it. That's called compassion. Libertarians such as yourself wouldn't know what that's about though.

Well, if your balls are that big and you have so much compassion why don’t YOU go to Syria and enlist in the FSA? They are taking foreign volunteers.

I'm afraid lack of military-orientation would ensure I would be a burden on their organization.  Plus you know, I have a family to worry about/provide for. Luckily there are plenty of military-oriented people in the world who are best suited for intervening in this conflict.

Surprised Canada is staying put. The Harper government has been very pro-military. I guess they figure it would be rather unpopular here.

If it ends up being just cruise missile strikes as has been speculated, does Canada even have any?

Just did a quick google search: the answer is no.

Your take on when Saddam Hussein gassed his own people?

Didn't the US bomb Iraq after that (in the 1990s)? And didn't Saddam get rid of his WMDs?
