Leave the strongmen in that part of the world alone. They keep a lid on people much much worse.

That's what works best for them.

We didn't go to Syria because children were getting gassed. We don't give a damn about Syria or their children. The gassing was just a pretext to be used the way we used WMD as a pretext to go into Iraq. There are underlying interests that they aren't gonna state publicly.
Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Are you going to share this unknown, underlying information or make us search through all the Alex Jones video's.

We shouldn't have been fighting for either side. There is no reason to sacrifice the lives of American servicemen and women to keep Middle East Muslims from killing each other.

Keep believing we go into countries for the good of the people living there. You know, because we're so honorable and all.

Have you heard of ANY liberals like Obama, Hillary, Schummer, Pelosi, Reid, etc., coming out about this matter? NO! Silence! And they will remain silent cause they are all COWARDS.

You don't know what I believe about why we go into countries.
Why make a statement you have zero knowledge of and risk being thought a fool ?

I was addressing the claim that there was unknown, underlying interest, not for public consumption.
You have that information you want to share ? Lets hear it.

You're the one coming up with some nonsense about children being gassed. Since when did the United States give a damn about that? Please! How many children died in Rwanda? Did we stop that? Children were being killed left and right in Bosnia, and we only stepped up because we came to the realization that the Europeans had no stomach to prevent it from becoming a much wider war. No one gave a damn about children!

Stop it. This country isn't that altruistic. If there's nothing in any tragedy that doesn't threaten our national interests, they can kill all the children they want. Who are you kidding?

Just more liberal/progressive anti-American nonsense. You don't "know" anything.
