All this moralizing with respect to Syria . . .

64. "No one likes war" < Untrue. Leaving that aside, however, fuck the int'l

community. Our President just said he would "go it alone". Sounds like we don't care if there is a consensus to go bomb another's children or not. (Having lived through several of these wars, despite the so-called best intentions, that is ALWAYS what happens). Sounds more like we have taken the position that it's just fine if we want to do it because, today, anyway, we think we are bigger than everyone else.

You want to know what the most dangerous war is? The one that didn't need to be fought, the one that didn't fix a fucking thing, that did nothing but create tragedy and future enemies. In other words, the ones we have started for the past several years. There is every possibility that this will not fix anything, and would thus be pointless. And it might not end with us just dropping a few missiles on some hapless country, which makes it, tactically, a very stupid thing to do.

We lost our moral authority a long time ago. Much of the world won't see this as any kind of deterrent whatsoever, just more killing by the idiots in the U.S. who can't even get their own country in order. And worse, since we can't predict the outcome, we should probably hope that the Israeli strike against the new, and more sophisticated, Russian weapons in Syria a couple weeks ago got them all, else this just might blow up in someone else's face.
