It has been a few days and I stand behind my position that Assad is the problem

and Assad should go. But I have come up with a new idea. Here it is. Obama goes on TV with a huge stack of money (breaking bad style) totaling 100,000,000 and states, I will give this $100,000,000 to the person or persons who either bring Assad to the Hague or bring his body to me. It will deter future dictators from engaging in such behavior, it will end the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and it will cost between 1/3 and 1/10th of the cost of military strikes. Oh, and we only pay if it works.

2. The leaders of the world made a pact to not assassinate each other in order to protect themselves.

They would much rather kill their people in order to see who wins the penis measuring contest. This way they stay safe while the lowly, expendable citizens determine the outcome.

Like a movie scene or something. It of course wouldn't happen in real life.

Sanctioning assassination is not, well it's not polite. Not in good form. Someone may do that to one of our leaders some day.
McCa... no, let's not go there.

Ha... But if we could just zilch that mother. Don't gotta harm him just, put em somewhere. I'd even spring for the padding on the walls.
