That's about the best thing we can do, they don't ask us what we think or care about us but every two and four years.

Are you saying that those who fail to know and understand history are doomed to repeat it? Next you'll probably be spouting heresy like water is wet and gravity makes things fall!
- Kuwait produces a lot of terrorists and they were stealing Saddam's oil. Saddam wasn't a muslim fundamentalists, Kuwait is/was. Saddam allowed more "western values" than Kuwait.
- Saddam & the Taliban really had nothing in common and radical muslims in Iraq hated him. Lumping them in together is just a tactic like when the Bush administration tried to link Saddam to 9/11. I supported the Afghan war so that's not really an issue in this discussion.
- Gassing your own people was used to justify the Iraq wars and now they are trying to use the same excuse
- Bombing a secular gov't who allows more western values and is at war with radical Islam is essentially being Al Queda's air force. When Obama tried to do it in 2013 all the conservatives were against it. Now all of the sudden, its' okay if Trump does it. Double standard
- And finally I would ask for 3 number figures. 1.) How many Americans are you willing to lose to support your position? 2.) How many tax dollars are you willing to spend to support your position? 3.) How many other Syrian civilians are you willing to die to support your position (essentially if 40 died in this gassing, how many will die as a result of our escalation?)
Washington warned us about foreign entanglements...WWII was on such a scale of genocide, and we were also attacked that justified action. But I ask you, how many other miscellaneous wrongs are you willing to right around the world? We'd be bombing almost every country if we were not selectively picking wrongs and conveniently ignoring others. There si a genocide going on right now in Sudan. THOUSANDS of Christians have been slaughtered. Same thing in Lybia and Syria. Why have we armed the radical muslims in Syria and Lybia (who then use those weapons against moderates like Assad) and ignored the other tragedy in Sudan? You are practicing selective moral outrage which is typically a tactic of the left...Are you doing it because you care about the gassing or just to support Trump at all costs? That is a serious question, not mocking...all of what I've said is meant to encourage thought and debate and not to be an a-hole...it was this type of conversation that made me wake up and think about it more...once I figured out how we support radical Islam, that's all I needed to know...Saddam, Qaddafi & Assad can destroy all the jihadis they like in my opinion. Why do republican hardliners seem to love Saudis and radical muslims so much?
I'd just like to point out that several of the neocons supported this policy even when Obama did it. McCain went so far as to go meet with radical Islamic terrorists in Syria to facilitate arming them. In this case Trump got played by the neocons, who are still working the deep state machine to their advantage.

Yeah you are exactly right; I should clarify I meant the Trump conservatives...necons are not "really" conservatives in my book. Too bad Trump has surrounded himself with them like Bolton and power-trippin' war monger Niki Hailey (who will of course not be on the front lines if she sends our kids to die for muslims).
Yeah, they're still out there pulling strings. A LOT of them are bailing on the mid-terms because they can see the writing on the wall and don't want to be the next one to get Cantor'd, but that doesn't mean they're no longer a threat.
