(2,674 posts)There are some things that you have to look into your heart and made decisions that are not popular. Going into Afghanistan after 9-11 was the right thing to do, too bad our government then dropped the ball to go after Iraq and didn't finish the job. Going into Bosnia was the right thing to do, thousands of people were being killed and intervention put a stop to it. Standing by while genocide happened in Rwanda was the wrong thing to do. Going into Iraq. like Vietnam, was the very most wrong to do. Right now, going into Syria is the right thing to do.
We don't always get it right, but morally we should not stand by while innocent people are slaughtered. I don't think there is a group in Syria worth supporting, but hopefully there is some way to get rid of the poison gas, but we can't get involved and fight their war for them. Right now there is no good outcome of this situation, so let's just stop as much of the killing as we can.
