To all the critics of the actions taken last night by the U.S. military against Syria. Tell me why has everyone been posting pictures, videos, tweets and stories about Syria on social media in the last five years? Why do international media organizations show images of the chaos, bloodshed and inhumanity that the Syrian people have been living through? Why?
Is it for clicks? Is it to create some kind of narrative? Or is it simply to show the world what is happening??
If it is to inform and educate the world, then what responsibility does the world have? Is it to just sit and watch and make comments? Send prayers and condolences? Or is it in hopes that those that have the ability to will take action and galvanize to stop it?
Why would Obama say there is a red line when it comes to Chemical weapons?? You think he was pressured to say that? You think he wishes he never said that because he doesn't really care?
Have we become so unbelievably cynical that we would rather focus on what we do wrong as a nation than what we do right? So desensitized that it's more important to search for old Tweets, so we can point a finger at our leaders and say "haha see you're a hypocrite! haha dumbass!" for what? To impress your friends? For a quick LOL? For clicks?
What are your arguments?
1. Hippy-like peace at all cost, never aggression? OK, at least that's a real position. Good luck with that.
2. "But, but Trump tweeted in 2013 as a civilian that Obama shouldn't get involved in Syria" This one doesn't even deserve an argument, smh..
3. And of course those who just know how to string along the oil argument, "Yeah, but we only care about countries with oil!" "We're being played!"
Sending the Tomahawks was to send a message that WMD are NOT okay, the international community - Turkey, Australia, Israel, France, NATO, Sweeden etc. are praising it!! And some in Syria say that is wasn't enough!
Look for some sort of compassion and at least be glad that those innocent children may not have to endure another chemical attack man.
- Seriously? It's awful shit, and it makes headlines because it's so awful and keeps going on. Chemical weapons is a red line for most nations that war, btw.monospaced
- you really think Obama or Trump gives a shit about Syrian kids? lobbing missiles at sovereign states and its civilians is never the answer.Milan
- the whole american economy is based on creating war and instability around the world. you still believe in the shit they feed you about WMDs, even after iraq?Milan
- My main objections here are: Why did the West not intervene years ago? Where is the absolute proof Assad actually deployed chemical weapons?detritus
- At first I think it's responsible to trust our govt., but question. I won't operate on the premise that I am always being lied to by our leaders.HijoDMaite
- As Milan points out, Iraqi WMD claims should make us question everything, ever more. Just.. What is the logic behind Assad using chemical weapons? Really. Why?detritus
- using Chem Weapons is against NATO treaty so the use of force was warranted. Now if we decide to push towards regime change, then that's different.HijoDMaite
- It seems to me far more likely he's been set up, either by us directly, Israel (I don't think) or Saudi Arabia (absolutely a possibility)detritus
- Samesame last time this happened. I didn't believe he'd be so stupid, illogical and self-undermining then, I don't now. He's a nasty prick, but he's not thick.detritus
