Actually we do have everything we need to form such an opinion...
Violence = barbarism and a step back for human civilization
Reason and Negotiation = a step forward for human civilization
Let's try reason and negotiation FOR A CHANGE at worst we'll avoid butchering innocent people just because their asinine, bloodthirsty government doesn't agree with our asinine. bloothirsty government. It was certainly encouraging when public opinion (and the scum in Congress) stood up to President Wannabe on his "red line" in Syria and he had to back down from his threats of military action in the Syrian Civil War... we need more of that.
