Well you say you think we're going to get boots on the ground, yet President Obama says that is not an option at all. What the U.N wants to do is stop the Syrian president from killing his people, but possibly leave him in control with limited power. Why would they do thia? Take Osama Bin Laden for example. When we (the U.S.) went in and took him out of power, this left radicals with an opportunity to take over the country. Hence, Afghanistan is now the center of terrorism... Though we shouldn't have went in there in the first place..

That would cause us to pretty much have a coup. Meaning that we would have to stop all funding in Syria leading to have the Radicals, because they have funding from us (Yes we are supplying the rebels which include them) But they're also getting funding from Russia and China leaving them with the upper hand on the rebels who are fighting for democracy. Are you saying we should like HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people get gassed and killed due to them wanting a say in what the government does. That is what we fight for democracy it doesn't matter where. Anywhere we will support it.

Nothing I said even remotely pointed towards that view at all... I'm not even sure if you were speaking to me honestly, because nothing said seemed to be relevant to what I said.

Honestly, I think America should do the right thing, and not engage. They're in debt, deep, in debt. I may not know much, as I am Canadian and don't pay much attention to economic dilemmas and such, but they should just let the U.N and the others deal with it. I just hope Canada doesn't get involved in anyway, as anything could go wrong in this situation. That is just my opinion, and you all have your own, it could be the same, it might be the complete opposite.

This is the response to that:
That would cause us to pretty much have a coup(If we took him out of power completly). Meaning that we would have to stop all funding in Syria leading to have the Islamic extremist, because they have funding from us (Yes we are supplying the rebels which include them) But they're also getting funding from Russia and China leaving them with the upper hand on the rebels who are fighting for democracy

This I more then likely took it a different way then you meant. I thought by "Shouldn't have went in there anyway" As we should do nothing at all. That is my fault on that. I misread. I read it as, we should of never been evolved in the first place if you see where I am coming from.

Who is to stop them if the United States doesn't go in. That might lead to France and Turkey not going in. Since Brittian is out. What is the U.N going to do? smack them on the wrists? Let them off with a warning. There's no other major power in the world that will go in and stop this. When we let the U.N take their time and find a good punishment, something else has happened in the world. Like how North Korea is trading missile parts with Cuba. They need certain countries to follow out and the United States has been that country so far.

Yes actually. It does. We sent over 100,000 troops into Afghanistan to support the Americans. They did a good job and helped well. But the ones who lost their live will not be forgotten, Canadian, or American.

As a Republican from the states, my view is that right now, we don't have the time nor the money to be launching military action against this country. While it poses a threat between the agreed backing from Russia and Iran, we are almost 20 trillion in debt, and I find it insulting that congress would dare to ask for us to fund their escapades in the east.


Spending more money and burning through resources to fight against a poorly armed country with extremely aggressive allies such as Russia and some other "Enemy of the state" countries in the East, is a bad decision.

Before we begin worrying about other people's problems, we need to check on ourselves and see that we're in a lot of trouble financially, and spending trillions more to put down a regime will do nothing to help.


We are spreading democracy. We have to help them. We can not sit back and let them kill 100,000 people of their own country, fighting for democracy. We did the same thing fought for it. But we were armed with Brittian. These rebels are running around with AK47s against a military that is dropping bombs and chemical weapons. They're way more advanced. We would of had no chance of becoming America if we didn't have an a better equal playing field unlike the Syrian rebels. (Revolutionary war was not fair I am just saying that back then, it would be compared if we had bows and Brittan had guns.)



Woof wrote Nuke syria and we can all be happy


All be happy? What about Russia China and Iran, they wont be happy and will take action against us for such an unneeded attack.

Cancerous wrote What a surprise, everyone has been saying for years that Syria will be next.


Syria will be next for what? please go into further detail.

HarmfulMushroom wrote Good. Usually I'm very passive and don't agree with military action, but it seems as if someone needs to step in when a country is gassing it's own people... Even the lowest of the low should have more humility than that...


Going on the conservative side. Why does it have to be us? why cant we let Turkey and France go in alone? We dont have the time and money to go into another expensive war.


Because this is 'Murica and we police the world!

But really though you do have a point, I guess it would be smart to let Turkey and France make the first move and intervene if the need arises.

Canada declared war on Germany in WW2 and were one of the 3 countries that landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day.
They do more than people think.
