Saiks,
Asad’s guilt or innocence in the recent chemical attacks on his own people could have been determined from jump by working with the international agencies to investigate cause and responsibility for that heinous crime. But of course who is going to extend his/her hands to shake another if your hands are covered with dirt during a search for a grave digger? U.S never blessed Saddam to use chemical weapons back in 1988 or so. It could be argued that someone in that administration has to know that they were going to use it prior to them executing that mission. I would certainly not reference wikilinks in a serious conversation, and of course key word here is I.
You are right; I will never consider war to be a solution to any situation. U.S invasion of Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq did not make those countries a developed country but has arguably not made them any worst. Like Demba mentioned, these countries were liberated and given a chance. How they choose to run their country from that point have a lot to do with their concept, commitment to their people and the rule of law.
I don’t honestly see Syria being any different but would you rather the world sit back and watch the massacre and slaughter of innocent citizens of Syria? U.S. is indeed doing a lot of supporting of many organizations openly and privately however; so is many other countries in the world. Does that make it ok? Hell no. Did you see how much Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan combined gave to Egypt? Ridiculous I’m thinking.
It is my believe that there is no morality in war. When one nation comes to the conclusion to fight another nation for whatever reason, humanity and morality failed utterly. I believe that every war is futile when compared to the senseless massacre of human lives. U.S however has lost both money and lives of their brave men and women in defense of many nations across the globe and I commend them for that. It only shows their tenacity for freedom to prevail and they demonstrated time and time that they will make the ultimate sacrifice for any nation. Are they always right; no. Is it necessary at times; I will say yes but don't beat me up bad.
