So Assad or the rebels could chem weapon the crap out of each other and their neighbors?
Is there any red line?
Or is it knee-jerk NO NO NO!
As I said, there comes a time to act. imo that time is now.
(Reuters) - Twin car bombs killed 43 people and wounded many more in a Turkish town near the Syrian border on Saturday and the government said it suspected Syrian involvement. The bombing increased fears that Syria's civil war was dragging in neighboring states despite renewed diplomatic moves towards ending two years of fighting in which more than 70,000 people have been killed.

There seem to be quite a lot of threads of late on the Syrian civil war that are actually really quite ignorant of events in Syria. The authors of these threads seem to be advocating various solutions that are frankly utterly pointless or just so extreme there is no equilibrium to the cost/benefit delicate balance.
You are wrong in your assumption that a "no fly zone" is not on the table.
Ignorant on Syria? I am pointing out that people are dying in Syria every day and NO ONE seems to want to do anything about it.
How, exactly, is that ignorant?
Your post was engineered to urk me, that is plain.

When is enough enough?
The "stay out of it" theory is fine, UNTIL A NATO MEMBER IS ATTACKED
By Syria OR the "Rebels"
That's why they call it "Allies"
I support the Wests allies. You can support whoever you like

Do what they did in Bosnia. This side is yours, that side is theirs, I'm not trying to make it sound easy. It's not. Religeous fanatics should be separated if they cannot understand to live with each other.
Lots of white vehicles in the middle.
Problems solved? No.
Violence quelled?
yup.edit on 11-5-2013 by canucks555 because: (no reason given)
