I have absolutely no clue as to how these links are appropriate as a response to my opinion of American intervention in Syria, however I will give my opinion.
I deplore the expansion of federal government which has increased government bureaucracy. An axe should be taken to federal jobs and federal workers should have the same experiences as Americans employed in private enterprise.
As a teacher of 28 yrs ( had to quit to become a caregiver to my traumatic brain injured husband), I appreciated my income of which many teacher complained. I deplored the increase of educational bureaucracy which occurred with states handing over power to the federal gov’t in exchange for funds.
I believe the government and its monies should be spent primarily on a well prepared military which would be a deterrent to unfriendly nations and infrastructure for commerce and movement of people (not biking trails).
Once again - do not understand the purpose of your links to any of my comments.
