“The Syrian civil war is not our business”
the line was set by obama... do not cross this line.. and then he did nothing when he knew they had these weapons. That sent a message to a crazy man that he could do whatever he wanted to and the only country that would stop him, had turned into wimps... that must have been good news to assad.
Their civil war is not our business... I’d agree with that.. but there are things in our world that are totally off limits for anyone in any country... nuclear attacks and biological warfare... it’s understood “don’t go there”. WE are the country that leads... we are strong (used to be) and the peace of the world falls on us to some extent... and it falls on us when a crazy man rains down saran gas on sleeping children.. babies... and their deaths are lengthy and horrible. We have a conscience in our country.. we have limits... and assad crossed it.
Thank goodness we have a man who is strong and not afraid to stand for that line in the sand. Strength is a deterrent.. .and weakness brings out the sharks in these countries.
Whatever happens... it had to be done after assad used saran gas... and he used saran gas because he thought he could... obama’s weakness was not a virtue... running from the boogie man won’t work.. never does. Turn around and face him... !
