And I'd just like to say that if you want us to intervene then you should feel some obligation to join the military or at least in some way to support the military in any way you can besides just talking. If you want to send others to die for your moral beliefs that you have no desire to back up with your own actions then that is unconscionable and is why these pointless wars happen in the first place.

from what i've read theres no chance we will send troops. military support on our end would be in the form of arming he rebels with more serious firepower or possibly missile strikes from afar. i dont think we would put our troops on the ground over there. not that i dont think we are stupid enough but ive just read obama is reluctant to jump into anything and we wont throw troops at assad. chamaleon could be talkin about ground troops tho i dunno for sure
the more i read i feel pretty apprehensive about arming the rebels cause it sounds like theres a good chance those weapons would end up in the hands of religous group terrorists or al quadea and i dont want them to have our weapons lol. maybe we could booby trap the weapons and give them directly to al quada?? lol thatd be awesome
