That having been said......don't we, as a country, "kill our own people"? Don't we have the "death penalty"? Don't we inject chemicals into peoples body and watch them die? If any armed group rises up against the system.......won't our system kill them? Did they not kill off leadership of the Black Panthers? What happened in Waco?

I get sick of hearing this tired old hypocritical propaganda. I am surprised that Trump is falling for the okey doke when initially he did not trust our intelligence.....now he has taken the story of the Syrian chemical attack as if it came from the Messiah.

Yep, these post imperial provinces formed into manufactured countries are not a nation or a people. They are convenient for despots however.

The death penalty in America is a waste of time and $- it is a joke. All it does is line the pockets of attorneys, while monsters appeal for 30+ years. We do kill our own thru abortion, however.

Many people on death row have be exonerated, after years in prison, when DNA technology proved their innocence. Unfortunately, many died at the hands of the government before such technology could benefit them, by proving them innocent. Many others do not get their evidence picked to prove their innocence.

If US leaders really cared about leaders killing their own people they would talk about it happening in Africa, but they pretty much ignore it. They would have ignored Hitler if they weren't forced to get involved.

I do not believe that it mattered at all regarding Saddam--that invasion was entirely political and personal for Bush/Cheney. It was not humanitarian. They couldn't have cared less that Castro did the same.

And I don't believe Trump would have done anything if not for Ivanka and the pictures. That is quite obvious by his past comments on Syria.

What about Guatemala? The government there has executed an estimated 100,000 Mayan Indians just for being the native people. Don't hear anything about our government getting involved. Of course, they are doing it the old way, just shooting them.
