Pro-war liberals are funny.
I'm still on the fence because while I think humanitarian reasons are valid as a premise for military action, I don't see a winning proposition for us in Syria. In Iraq, I saw the opportunity to enforce our cease fire, get rid of Saddam and his state support for terrorism, and hamper Al Qaeda's ability to grow and expand in Iraq. While the results have not been ideal, the Iraqi people have much more freedom (which in some areas ironically means freedom to live under Sharia Law) and Saddam's reign of terror is over.
I don't see how bombing Assad's military is going to do anything but help Al Qaeda, nor do I see how it's going to liberate Syria in any way. I'm willing to be convinced, but it has to be on honest terms not some talking points poking a stick at anyone who opposes Obama.
Y'know, there's a poll thread on here started by Paulitician about being in favor of strikes on Syria. Go find it and check out the names under "No" and then get back with me.
Why do I care about who votes how?
This isn't some sort of club where I can get kicked out for having the wrong views.
Because of this part:
