Yeah, something like 119, 000 dead so far. Now we’re supposed to be up in arms (literally) over a few hundred more deaths? Dead is dead. I don’t think the other 118, 000 dead feel particularly glad they were shot, blown up, decapitated, etc. If you are going to act, act to make a difference, not just send a message. However, I don’t think we should do anything. Neither side is an ally. Neither side’s hands are clean. Neither side is deserving nor worthy of our support.

Now we’re supposed to be up in arms (literally) over a few hundred more deaths?

What about the hundreds killed by drug cartels in Mexico?

What about the killings and slaughter in various African nations?

Many of those have been recurring for centuries.

What about the dozens killed in CHICAGO since 2008?

Why do we, all of the sudden, have such a compelling interest in the Syrian civil war?
