Simplistic and perhaps insulting question regarding an extremely complicated issue. What kind of war? Who the hell are we fighting?
I don't think it's all that complicated. And i certainly don't think it's insulting to ask the question. Do you want War with Syria or not? Go with your gut and answer.
"Go with your gut" when war isn't defined or the enemy isn't identified? War in Iraq was relatively clear cut. Saddam violated perhaps a hundred UN sanctions and the UN (and congress) authorized intervention. Bill Clinton and the best intelligence at the time indicated that Saddam was developing WMD's. President Bush gave Saddam a year to comply (and ship the WMD technology to Iran?). Should we land in Syria with tanks and artillery or should we launch cruise missiles? Maybe we should send a couple of Seal teams in to capture somebody. They are acts of war and vastly different. Who should we target? The muslem brotherhood or the regime? What next?
