If they attack another nation, we have a clear reason to respond. You can talk until you are blue in the face, but I won't agree with interfering in a military manner with the internal affairs of other countries.

"if Assad attacks Israel by lobbying chemical weapons" we will have a legitimate reason to respond, even tho Israel hasn't ratified the gas treaty. Maybe they should consider this their reminder to do so.

Chinu, what everyone is upset about is the approach Obama is taking. It makes no sense and is fraught with danger. What Obama could have done was rally the world community to do something. Use his bully pulpit to shame the rest of the world for not doing anything. But tell them everyone has to go with us. We are not going to do it alone. He could also chide the world community into helping the refugees more. He needed to address the world community not just convince us.
