Well, were at it again. Syria is experiencing inner turmoil. People are dying. As Big Brother to the world we feel compelled to stick our nose in. We, in this case, means our political leaders.
Weather or not we the public are treated to facts or fabrication is unclear. One thing I believe is that we are being pushed hard by administration personnel to react with military action. I, like a vast majority (according to polls), are against taking action which may well lead to more long term involvement in a useless conflict.
Syria has nothing to offer us. They have no necessary exports. They hold no value for us what-so-ever. Our interest appears to be our idea of morality. Apparently an idea not shared by Syria and most other Middle Eastern countries. Countries that perpetually are involved in conflict.
While I am mystified by the cruelty exhibited in these countries, I feel no responsibility to force a change. To me, it is unclear which side is a lesser evil. It is clear that neither side in the Syrian conflict has any interest in the general public of that country. Why should we?
I am tired of wasting our resources on people that do not like us.
