    Default Can we PLEASE attack Syria now?

    If ever I have wanted the West to display that latent whiff of prejudice, this is it:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...n-killed-syria

    It looks like a reporter for The Times and a French photographer were deliberately killed in shelling.

    Why?

    You know why.

    So, can we now admit that Assad will do anything to retain power, and that our inaction has just made him more brazen, PLEASE?

    Can we PLEASE stop attacking sovereign nations now? How about we keep our self-righteous Western values to ourselves, and stop meddling in other nation's affairs. Can we do that?

    I dunno, maybe you should ask the Syrians.

    Or are you going to tell me all those reports of shells and snipers are fabricated too?

    Excuse me for extending my concern for other human beings beyond my native land.

    Assad must be stopped, the Syrians cannot do it without help.

    It is manifestly worse that Gadaffi, and from my point of view the failure to intervene in Syria, and resulting esclation, vindicates that intervention too.

    this is just like Libya....a civil war.....who are we to pick who is going to win? why is that our competence exactly??? not to mention what do we have to profit from sticking our collective noses in yet another mess?

    Germany was at war with Britain. I'm not sure how the two situations are comparable. It's wonderful that you're concerned about the latest media spectacle. There are many millions of human beings around the world that could benefit from a version of that concern that doesn't involve dropping bombs and picking sides in civil wars. What's going on in Syria is a power play between vying factions. By embracing the FSA, the Sunni faction has dropped the facade of a peaceful movement and engaged the state in open conflict. If they aren't prepared to win that conflict, they have no one else to blame but themselves.

    The self-righteous mindset behind these interventionist movements is dangerous. We have to stop thinking of small nations as conditionally sovereign.

    economical bonds and political alliance as well as the public expectation of aiding the ally from ww1.

    ofcourse asking what the nazi in germany had to do with the tommy at dunkerke or normandy would be a better question and one not so easily and cynically answered i think.
