The world must unite to save Syria -Reads the headlines.

Why?

Don't most nations in the world have enough problems of their own?

Here in America, people are starving, and need a place to live, and are dying because of this, but we should worry about someone else's problems?


We see how well that has worked out for us in Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt?

Once we have tackled our own problems, then I don't have an issue trying to help someone else out, but let's be serious here. We need to pull our military out of everywhere it is, and remember it's job is the protection of our borders and people, not the protection of someone else.

The forces of Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria, have been killing Syrians mercilessly for 13 months while the world has fumbled for a credible strategy to remove him from office. The rhetoric has been strong: he must go; this is his last chance; his loss of legitimacy is irrevocable. Such phrases have been heard time and again over the past year.

Syria will find its own direction as long as Turkey and Iran stop meddling.

Nothing going on there that warrants our confiscated tax dollars being spent on.

[Toyman at Jewel Lake]

Nothing and no one in Syria is worth more of our tax dollars or the lives of our service men and women. Their problem, not ours.

F Syria....I couldn't care less what happens to that country. We've learned that ANY assistance we give is unappreciated, and I see no sense in spending money that we don't have or lifting a finger to help them. Let them kill eachother....we have enough to worry about.

It's evident that Hillary and barry don't think they're worth saving. They don't have any oil. Or maybe any wind farms, solar panel factories or algae farms.
