If you have been following the situation in Syria, then you
probably know that whether Assad is in power or the rebels are in power,
neither is an ideal situation. In fact,
sitting back and thinking, perhaps the situation now is ideal. We have the rebels taking up Assad’s
attention, such that Syria’s hands are tied.
We don’t like Syria because they say only Muslims should
rule, or at least practically all of the people of Syria. Personally, I don’t consider Islamic rule as
ideal, such that I don’t see any sort of world advantage war in Syria will gain
for the USA.
I can’t say that I agree with the use of chemical weapons,
but I don’t see use of chemical weapons as a line of demarcation where it
becomes paramount that the U.S. gets involved.
Please Congress, send a message to the President that we do not want
another war. If it is true that the
Syrian’s are willing to use them on their own people speaks volumes for how low
of a nation this country is.
Strangely, this is coming at a time where we are thinking of
raising the debt ceiling again. I am
wondering if there was foul play and Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, but
some other party used them, so that the President and Congress can gain the
patriotic momentum that they will need to raise the debt ceiling through war. We won’t be able to go to war in Syria if we
don’t raise the debt ceiling.
Remember, this was the time that the Republicans were going
to put down their foot on the issue of the debt ceiling. But, will they put down their foot at the
risk of not having another war? The Republicans
have long been the party that is more trigger happy than the Democrats. So, will we go to war? The answer is yes, and only because someone
has played the war card in Syria, throwing House Republicans in a tizzy. They can’t be the world policeman if they
vote against raising the debt ceiling!!!
So where should the endgame be?: The endgame should be now! 9/2/2013
