They say we MUST attack Syria, because we can't allow nations to think they can use chemical weapons.
Well, what happened when Iraq gas the Kurds?
NOTHING.
What happened when Iraq gassed the Iranians?
NOTHING.
Looks like doing nothing in Syria would be perfectly consistent with American foreign policy.
We took care of Saddam's WMD's, and all we got in return was a kick in the teeth and bad press.
Where is the rest of the world?
Did every other nation on the planet disarm their militaries and neglected to inform us?
If the rest of the world really wanted us to police up their problems, they should have been behind us in Iraq.
Now the rest of the world can **** off as far as I'm concerned.
See those stubby abutments sticking off the East and West coasts of the United States into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans?
That's what's left of two burnt bridges.
We'll defend our allies when they are attacked, but when it comes to being the world police, our Bat-phone is permanently out of order.
