So you're willing to let your own friends and familiy die? I don't think you quite grasp the severity of this if it all kicks off to it's full potential.

It's not our problem, we don't live our lives peacfully and by the law just to get dragged kicking and screaming into a war which has absolutely nothing to do with us. It might as well be a rebirth of the slave trade.

We have problems of our own to deal with just like they have problems THEY need to deal with.

It's a tricky situation, but why are my friends and family better than a Syrians friends and family?

I really don't think Russia and China will get involved. I know it's a possibility I just don't see it happening, there is too much to lose for them and little to gain.

Israel kills atleast 1-2 Palestianians a day for the last 60 years not a fucken word... Assad Regime suppoesdly uses Ciran gas an the its worth fighting a global war over???

The thing is Saudia Arabia Qatar an Dubai the big gas an oil countrys are predomintely Sunni... Assad Iran Hezbollah all Shiaa its just America scratching an allies back...

On another note gas prices may drop some from US an Britan so fuck it

@Nicholas the fuck do you or any American now about Syria or the power balance in the Arab world? the fuck are you talking about? what happens with to the Shiaa population when the Sunni Majority is being aided by a super power?

more bombs isnt going to help an to think so is fucken retarded

I didn't say our family's are better, because it has nothing to do with being better, it's about being dragged into a deadly situation we have absolutely nothing to do with. why should Obama or Cameron get to play god with the lives of it's respective country's civillians?

Not to mention we don't even know if their intentions are sincere and not something more selfish and sinister.

the only ones that suffer are the poor Syrians who couldnt afford to get out the country all the rich ones are sitting in Lebanon an Jordan like nothing is going on

Millions of people in both the US and UK live their lives peacfully just for them to get dragged into a confrontation they lived day by day to avoid on the say so of 2 people?

It's fucked up whats happeneing to the Syrian people. But neither us or the US can get involved without it exagerating into something much bigger. If all it does is escilate the situation then it's a pointless exercise which will just lead to the deaths of millions more with absolutely no garuntee of victory for any party involved.

Nicholas you don't seem to understand that @Just C is absolutely right

We should offer our help if shit hits the fan and they're gassing their own people. That doesn't mean you can use that event to justify an invasion and possibly another war. This rises U.S. tension with Russia tremendously considering how we just fucked up Libya(Russian ally) and now we're pretty much waltzing into Syria despite Russia telling us not to simply because the U.S. + E.U. is a menace Russia wouldn't wanna deal with so they're letting this shit rock

The thing I'm pointing out is, why is it always OUR men and women? Don't China & India have armies bigger than ours? Why aren't they going "Omg Syria, we out"

Why does the U.S. ALWAYS involve itself in worldly affairs that don't pertain to them and why in the last 12 years has the focus for "aid" and "liberation" been in a concentrated area such as the middle east?

Everytime these wars happen it's almost always my cousins, my friends, etc putting their lives on the line because OUR government has a problem with another government and world leaders are too pussy to put the gloves on and fight

If you have family in the army and they're always getting shipped off somewhere that has extremists and pretty lethal weaponry you'd feel the same fuckin way

to sum up this thread: why does the U.S. have to play Captain Save A Ho and why is it always in the middle east when the entire world has countries plagued with disease that kill waaaay more people than wars. or in Africa's case, genocides. Genocides are still humans committing crimes on humanity..isn't that what we respond to? Yet we left Africa alone

We leave all these countries alone until our world leaders get bored and decide to they need to flex on these other niggas

Yeah I can see your point here. As I said it's a tricky situation, there really is no wrong or right.

I'm British, but you're right very little. You're schooling me right now, but a couple of posts back I asked about this and got told the answer was obvious like I'm some kind of idiot. Maybe I'm ignorant, but our news gives us very little detail unfortunately. However I put myself out there as open to learn and got shut down, so.... what can I do?
