Vietnam was a terrible war, but it was all about one state invading another. Yes, it was highly complex, but as always, America ignored these facts and jumped in there to defend the "good guys". Now with this, the world has stood back have they not? Everyone has learnt after Iraq and Libya that some coutnries are highly volatile and there is no "right side" to be on. So why are you acting like they are getting involved straight away? Now have you not read anything about chemical weapons? Do you not know what a world ban nor what a wmd is? I outlined this in my first post, yet you have ignored it. Why? So now Obama is fighting to end the civil war?! Erm what the hell? This conflict has proven one thing - Western news is fucking useless as 99% of people seem to be utterly misinformed. He has clealry said numerous times that they are not fighting to helps rebels or end the war. He is attacking Assad for using wmd/commiting war crimes/breaking a world agreement to keep such foul weapons locked away and never to be used. The world thinking chemical weapons are ok to use is a threat to everyone. The reason no one uses them is fear of this happening - the world stomping all over you for being one sick nation. As I've mentioned before to others...and I'm amazed I have to spell this out every time; if the rebels have chemical weapons...then holy shit help us as we are fucked. This means that Assad has lost control of his assets, the rebels have also got their hands on serious deployment capabilites, and of course, finally have wmds. Now if that is not reason enough to take out the other 1000 tons of chemical weapons, then I don't know what is. |
Most countries have decided against Syrian intervention except for 2 who want to but haven't yet. France and the United States. Both countrie's governments seem to want to go but Obama is not too sure if to actually go ahead. And if you are fighting against Assad, aren't you on the rebels side even if you don't help them? And you think western news is useless, you believe Assad has used chemical weapons when there is no evidence for it. For all we know, it could be another white lie like when we went to Iraq for supposedly having WMD's. And for all you know, some company could of sold chemical weapons to rebels, if so that has nothing to do with Assad. Because of this confusion, we can't really go to war. Not that we should anyway. The west is almost broke so i don't know why people though another war was ever a good idea.
The whole idea of a country being a world police force is just absurd anyway and it certainly has proven it when it attacked some countries for no reason and ignored others which did worse against "international law" which could never be enforced anyway. I mean who do we think we are to even think of dropping one bomb or send over an army to defeat Assad?, like that would achieve anything. Also, we have our own problems, many problems at home in fact. Why not sort out those, instead of trying to fix someone elses? If we can afford yet another war, we can afford to update our infrastructure, reduce poverty, research new cures and technologies, invest in industry and many other things.
