To those that say "we can't just let these people get gassed."

First off, we have been allowing chemical weapons to be used on our own citizens for years. Granted, we call it pollution, but the deaths are as real as any other death.

Second, the reason that Assad is getting away with things is because we have allowed the UN to become a shield for thugs. If we want a safer world, we need to make one where yes, all people, can have as much stake as the folks that won world war II and the chinese. Until then, all the empires will cultivate pet dictators: we will cultivate Netanyahu, China will feed the Kims, and the Russians will feed their monsters.

2. I wonder how many innocent civilians we will kill trying to prevent Assad

from killing innocent civilians?
