Thank you for your sanity on this issue. There are unpalatable dictators all around the world -- are we going to start throwing bombs every time a bad dictator allegedly causes the deaths of citizens in a raging civil war where no one even knows for sure what is going on ? The idea of it is insane. Our country is in massive debt and our military is already stretched thin from the wars we started in the Middle East. If we actually care about the people of Syria, we would stop sending millions of weapons to Syria to prolong the "civil war", though it isn't a real civil war because so many of the fighters and all of the money and weapons were sent in from other countries who had an interest in overthrowing Assad.
