To Bomb or not to Bomb?
I implore you all if you comments
please do not make this about politics!
The truly is about the injustice
and destruction of people!
My question is why is it always the
US?
Why cant this be a joint effort
with all nations to stop killing innocent people or raping women or thinking
that you have an Empire and you are fucking Caesar.
What’s it all about Alfie?
I’ll tell ya – its about Greed,
Money, Control, and Religion.
The same old song since time
began...
10 things that could go very wrong
if we attack Syria....
1) Our strikes could result in heavy civilian casualties.
2) Our strikes could result in Assad killing more civilians.
3) Our strikes could result in Assad killing more civilians with
chemical weapons.
4) The attacks are so slight that Assad survives them easily and
appears strengthened before the world.
5) “You bombed it, you own it.” The
“Pottery Barn Rule” —- “you break it, you buy it” — became famous during
the Iraq war. “You are going to be the proud owner of 25 million people,” Colin
Powell told President Bush before the invasion of Iraq. “You will own all their
hopes, aspirations and problems. You’ll own it all.” (As it happens, that’s not
the Pottery Barn’s rule. They simply write off broken merchandise as a loss.)
6) Reprisal.
7) Assad falls and the chemical weapons end up in the wrong hands.
8) Assad falls and is replaced by chaos.
9) Assad falls and is replaced by something worse.
10)
Escalation.
One caution here is that much of
what could go wrong if we intervene could go wrong if we don’t intervene, too.
But that’s where the Pottery Barn rule comes in. Once we’re involved, it’s a
lot harder to say that disastrous outcomes in Syria are simply an awful,
regrettable thing happening elsewhere in the world rather than a war we are
directly involved in, and that we have some responsibility in guiding toward a
successful conclusion.
I do not agree that innocent people should be gassed to death.
However I do NOT agree that we, the USA should always be the country
that stops the Lions from goin into the Coliseum.
