We should not give bombs, bullets, and missiles.

I'm thankful that Obama has resisted the left-right alliance of war maniacs aligned against Syria, but the aid to the Al Qaeda/Islamist alliance is an immoral act against the people of Syria, and a real threat to the security of the people of the US. Yet again, the US is fostering international terror. How to stop the killing? Take concrete diplomatic action to prevent US/NATO arms from illegally flowing into Syria from neighboring countries.
