IMO the British go this one right. We have no business joining the Syrian fight on either side. This is a no win situation. Let them fight it out amongst themselves.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>So you're ok with Assad using chemical weapons? I don't think we should enter this thing on either side, just try to stop his ability to gas his own people. The countries that just voted to not intervene are no better than those that ignored the Holocaust in WWII.

Nonsense, there is no evidence Assad is involved in this.

We have chemical warfare against Americans coming across the border with the narcoterrorist drug trade.

And IF Syrian Pest Control is gassing a few Salafist cockroaches, how is this a problem?

I would trust Bashar al Assad more than I would trust John Kerry.

Man, this Syrian civil war has already caused 100,000 fatalities, but we are only concerned now because someone (and we dont know who) allegedly (and its not certain) killed some folk with gas weapons? If we really were concerned at excesses against Human rights we'd have gone in months ago.

The real story behind Syria is that we are backing the rebels because we want to diminish Chinese and Russian influence in the area and they are propping up the Assad regime. The significance of this gas attack is that it looked like a great opportunity to take stronger action, in spite of all the hand wringing by Western politicians.

Attacking Syria is all about Geopolitics, not gas.
