Thousands around the world protest against the war with Syria

Are you avoiding the questions brother?
I don't under this whole presumption, that we have to act in Syria even if they did use chemical weapons. I understand Obama corned himself with the chemical weapons red line, but let's assume they killed 1000 people with chemical weapons. 100,000+ people have already died in this war through conventional weapons. So why act now? And please save me the moral outrage of chemical weapons. We actually helped Saddam with intelligence knowing full well that he was planning on using chemical weapons against the Iranians. We also let him use chemical weapons on the Kurds. We used agent orange in Southeast Asia.
As far as the humanitarian sheild the US likes to hide behind, where was their humanitarian concern when millions were dying in the Congo and tens of thousands were being butchered in Durfur?

Exaclty. TBH Obama does not want to go to war anymore. I think that there are some politicians like John McCain who are war mongers. Its the reason why Obama is trying to put the responsibility on the Congress so it doesn't all fall back on him. Its a smart move politically. War in Syria could bring in Iran and Russia which can turn into a bad situation. The way I look at it, the rebels should be able to put up a fight...Muslim jihadists will provide enough support eventually against Asad

for the same reason you don't donate money to literally every worthy cause you have ever become aware of. at some point, with limited resources and potential for blowback, one's decisions should make some kind of sense. arbitrary neoconservative policy is nonsensical (see iraq)

LOL
obama is pretty smart about not committing too much force to these actions (libya) so i see what he is doing, he is trying to bring expectations down; ceding power to congress, and getting warhawk mccain on board for a less intense intervention is a part of that, but still, even a little action is pretty pointless for our interests, in my opinion. these rebels will probably be public enemy #1 20 years from now. these are not unemployed college kids or impoverished fruit sellers. im not in support of assad, i just dont want any part of this.
We do it all the time brother. Where was the US government in Durfur?
20 years? Try right away. Some of the rebel factions are Muslim brotherhood and Al Queda operatives. We don't really have a good grasp of who the rebels are in all reality. We could get rid of Assad and end up with a much larger sectarian conflict and ultimately an extremist government in Syria. How is that in our best interest?

True, but the bolded will happen anyway. The rebels will continue to garner support from Jihadists and they will put in it work on Assad's tribe and the other minority allies. The US getting involved will just speed up the process.
