This is an Arab problem. We cannot go fight every injustice in the world. Heck, there is so much injustice, abuse and inequality in the US!

Bombing? So what happens when Syria’s air defenses shoot down a couple of our planes? Do we send in the Marines and then the Army? And here we are, the US with boots in yet one more Muslim nation.

We cannot be the policeman, prosecutor and judge for the entire world.

Obama is doing the right thing in trying to get the entire world to work together in solving issues. Everyone needs to get involved. Everyone needs to feel the pain.

We can no longer afford in money or blood the pursuit of interventionist policies.

2. If you want peace in Syria, you’ll have to encourage the rebels to stop fighting, stop protesting. It will save lives.

3. The transport of dangerous contraband throughout the region is a larger goal than freeing Syria, more lives are at stake.

4. Because technology has sufficiently advanced, and all countries have access to knowledge, we are all in danger. This is the only argument that gets me willing to die for freeing Syrians, or anyone else. Until their leaders AND our leaders speak to the global problems we all face, the arguments to solve tyranny piecemeal will always come up short.

Now, Assad; slimebag to be sure, but Obama seems to be reluctant to send 19 year old kids out to die. And the Europeans, pretty much useless. It’s just getting soooo hard to teach the world how to live.
