Syrian rebels include Al Queda.
Americans include AlQ. So? You can't indict millions of people based on a few bad apples.
So! When it comes to Syria.....we aren't talking about just a few bad apples.

Based on what? Do you honestly think that most of the Syrian population is actively participating in their civil war?
So why jeopardize them in a bombing campaign?
Yes we are. There are millions of innocent civilians, people just like you and I.
So why jeopardize them in a bombing campaign?
Yeah and.....will they be running the Country afterwards?
All the talk of Syria has gotten me kind of lost. This is what I know.Correct me if I am wrong.
FACT:
Assad is a bad guy. His regime is responsible for the death of thousands of civilians, regardless of the chemical weapons evidence.
FACT:
Syrian rebels include Al Queda. They also are brutal, and are equally as likely to turn weapons against the United States.
FACT;
Russia only cares because of their military base, arms shipments, and Cold War-esque views of the West and "imperialism."
FACT:
Iran does not want to lose the route that they ship arms against Israel.
So? Anything wrong? I mean. As I see it I see it...there is no point because no side are good guys. The only thing that happens here is that we start a nice "liberal war" with an air campaign against Assad and blow a few things up, maybe change the location of the piles of rubble that the country is already in. The Russians come out looking like they support "stability" and we come out looking like the jerks. Again.
Now. My counter point to invasion is that we don't do a thing. The Russians take the hear for supplying arms, and maybe they get targeted for their intervention instead of us. Sound selfish? Sure. But sucks to the Russian government. Maybe they will get toppled again?
Yes. Moderates will be empowered by the UN to construct and conduct a transitional democratic government.

:lol: :doh Who is going to empower the UN? :roll:

You know who pays for the UN.
Yeah so you say <yawn>...
And who plays for/to the UN.That is the problem with the UN, whether we agree, disagree or simply choose to ignore its findings, rulings and proclaimations, we still pay for it.
The US is not in violation of any UN resolution. Of course each country must decide which resolutions to ratify, demanding full compliance would be idiotic.
I admit I'm having a hard time with this one also. I mean...I like throwing this in the face of liberals, they elected a black George Bush, but why should I care about this really?All the talk of Syria has gotten me kind of lost. This is what I know. Correct me if I am wrong.

Some bad guys gassed other bad guys, and even more bad guys are mad about it. So?
Let's not ignore the fact that this happened in Afghan, Iraq, Libya and Somalia. There are still terrorists in those countries. Are they in charge? No.
Yeah take a good look at the picture, Chaos in full force......The Taliban are taking back Afghanistan where we lost. Iraq is already back into the Sectarian divide killing. Libya has turned into the Wild Wild West. Where that ruling government is there only in Name and Somalia still has no structure and again a government there in name only. Both havens for Armed militants and terrorists.
Here we are setting up little societies for people.....yet haven't learned from the history. That only they can set up their own societies by themselves. See how that works. No one else to Blame.
If we look at actual recent history and ignore your crystal ball of doom-and-gloom, your argument is obliterated.
