What To Do About Syria

[Prospero]

I love how humane all the right wingers here are - while children are being slaughtered. Not a jot of compassion from them. Oh how the world should look forward to President Santorum - a signal that the lunatics really will have taken over the asylum.

i have dealt with to many muslims to feel compassion for them

I definitely do not want our military involved. The Russians and the Chinese are always such pains in the asses for diplomacy. I just don't know what's left. It's hard watching unarmed people running through the street being shot like that. I have no answers, only questions.

Compassion is a wonderful thing, but compassion with inaction makes it virtually useless - all you're left with then is a lot of hand wringing, which accomplishes nothing but callused hands.
...also, it's not a right vs. left thing. ..(unless you are strictly going by comments posted on this board).

There is much common ground on the right and left. Neither side should be demonized as this is an opportunity to come together for once. I think we're all frustrated and don't know what to do. These civilians being killed are purely innocent.

What to do? Nothing!

I've seen enough American men and women scared for life helping ungrateful Arabs and Muslims. But to do nothing would mean we'd have to have a domestic energy policy, which we have none, so my guess is we'll at some point once again intervene.

Syria's not a very big oil producer so I don't understand your energy policy comment.

it was the inhumane and callous remarks by two very vocal right wingers that prompted my dismay at their lack of compassion.
Yes compassion without action is useless. But at least its not saying - let them kill each other. They're "just" Muslims.

leave them to their own shit

you've made your point.
your multiple posts with the same theme makes it disruptive to read what others have to say

Let's bury it and move on then. I want your input here as much as anyone's. It seems there is much to agree on.
