True but how do oppressed slaves in a totalitarian nation do that? Like Germany and Japan before WW2?? It took intervention.

So my question to you: Do you think this is a setup or false flag operation?

I call war with Syria a mistake for all the reasons our previous blunders in the region were. The Campaign Trump had this right; hopefully he has cooled off and thought this through. It appears he has.

Did you think about it?

I think he’s got a good point. And if you stop attacking and THINK you should be able to figure it out. I could give you some clues but you shouldn’t need them.

"Methinks thou doth protest too much, in fact I’m certain of it! but back to your praise of coherent conversation. "

No. Your replies were pure ad hominem personal attack, no question about it. Here they are again for all to see.

If I was the leader

You couldn't lead a pack of boy scouts on an Easter egg hunt. Please, drop the war pom pom, scrape the blood off your hands and show this forum evidence that this attack came from Assad.

OK, so you support and foreign country’s invasion of America because

1) 20,000 babies are being slaughtered every day, and/or

2) we are a nation of infidels who Islamic Iran declares deserves death.

That's a reasoned position.

I happen to disagree, but only in the sense of punishing the current regime severely and making it clear to others that neither the Russians nor the Iranians acting together can prevent us from doing so.

That's an important aspect of this situation that should be apparent.

“but you haven’t rebutted any of my specific claims.”

Seems he defaults to ad hominem fallacy instead. Did it with me too.

I’m not so sure this wasn’t a false flag event designed to rise tensions between super powers.

When one screeches for war, without evidence, some bumps and bruises should be expected. The interwebs aren’t for the the faint of heart but feel free to find a safer space, especially given your peculiar predispositions.

Do you honestly believe a totalitarian state that violates the sovereignty of it’s citizens with deliberate rape, torture, starvation, and death has a moral right to claim state sovereignty?

Answer, without equivocation. Yes or no.

Yes! please tell the forum how a longer war in Vietnam would have been in America's interests.

Be specific.

“When one screeches for war,”

Another ad hominem personal attack based firmly on a hallucination on your part. Quote a post where I did that. Good luck!

Do you notice a difference between North and South Korea?

If you can notice the difference, think about why there is a difference.

Let’s see where this all leads. In our exchange yesterday I mentioned that Trump might surprise us and now with Mattis wavering perhaps I was right. I sure hope so.

I don't think there will be a hasty response, given the several factors, not the least of which is that the one-off attack a year ago hasn't provided a sufficient deterrent and we don't have a lot of naval power in the Med at the moment.

That means any effective strike would be much harder.

But I also think that Trump's tweets will make very difficult for him to do nothing.

Constantly threatening to do something and then making the enemy scramble and wait is a good way to degrade his forces and record his preparations and order of battle.
