There is no upside for us. After all, if France is the only person on our side, we are ON THE WRONG SIDE.<br /><br />So, lets get blamed for not doing anything at all. Lets not get any US service members killed. Lets not spend any borrowed money. Lets not become Al Qaida's air force.<br /><br />The time to intervene was in 1990, when Iraq moved their WMD's to the Bekka valley in Lebanon (controlled by Syria). Too bad we blew it then, but now is not the time. The rest of the world expects us to fix their problems, but without any bloodshed, without any muss, without any fuss.<br /><br />Sorry, but no can do. <br /><br />Damascus Delenda Est! And Pax Americana is an idea whose time may have come - but not with the current clown in chief in the Presidency.Fidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623013337654868540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-53655279205452567722013-09-06T01:59:09.414-06:002013-09-06T01:59:09.414-06:00The only intervention that makes sense is one that...The only intervention that makes sense is one that seeks to defeat Assad and all the current insurgent factions, which requires an outside power running the interim government. But that's more intervention than anyone could stomach.<br /><br />Heck, right about now I'd favor deposing Assad and installing Alec Baldwin.AlanKHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415873942467466303noreply@blogger.com
