No, never! War should be outlawed worldwide.

War should be outlawed worldwide.

I agree with you....
But what does one do if someone starts a war? What are the consequences?

This is wrong on many levels. We were not attacked nor threatened by Syria. Our Constitution gives no justification to be "Global Peacekeepers." This is based on fabrications, lies, guilt-trips, need I go on? Disgusting.


NO.

Scorchio
The US should leave other countries alone.

In my opinion, U.S. Citizens DO want to leave other countries alone. Who, in a sense, make up our country (U.S.A). However, our U.S. Government, does not.

With that said, I think I speak for most of us when I say NO.

As New Information Presents Itself I Will Continue To Share. Purpose: To Inform, I Remain Neutral In This Thread and Do Not Feel It Is Appropriate for Myself to Persuade One Way or The Other!!

No.

I'm pretty sure the world is sick of America trying to lead it now.

PS. New forum look - ewww! Horrible :/

Yes- If they publicly release their intel, voice, email or other interception. As well as an eyewitness that saw the shell being loaded into the gun........or if Russia says they have and wants to join in....even better do it themselves.

No - Any other Circumstances

I asked Luke what he thought. He barely let me finish the question.

No way, we don't even got any solid evidence even if UN find something. But was later suppressed and not needed for publication.

i believe the pretty much said they are going in anyways

So No

Syria poses no threat to the US. They have not invaded the US and they have no weapons that can reach us. They have done nothing to us.

This is a civil war. The US is not the world's police man or in this case a referee.

I vote no to any type of military action of any kind.

I vote no to black ops.

I vote no to picking a side.

I vote no to arming, funding or training to rebels.

It is not our business and we should stay out of it 100%.

Did I mention I vote no?
