WHITE HOUSE PETITION: US had no moral authority to punish Syria's war crimes while our own...
I hope I didn't leave anything out.
The Bush administration committed far worse war crimes than Syria, including starting a war of aggression against Iraq, using torture, the chemical weapon white phosphorus, the radiological weapon depleted uranium, and attempting to restructure Iraq's economy for the benefit of oil companies and Wall Street, not to mention a million Iraqis killed.
Further, Syria could never be a threat to us, given our massive and well-known nuclear arsenal to retaliate.
It is also doubtful that the stated justifications for the military attack are the actual reason, given the bipartisan support for brutal and oppressive regimes that serve business interests who donate to both parties.
Do not attack Syria, but instead, explain publicly who is demanding this attack and what they expect to gain from it.

(505 posts)...some other country decided that America should not be conducting drone strikes killing civilians and that country launched an attack on an American airfield that has drones?
Would we think that is anything other than an act of war?
I don't understand why anything outside of voting on a UN action or participation in a trial at an international court is under consideration.
What about sanctions such as those on Iran.
Our foreign policy is so incredibly schizophrenic! And insane!
