Military Intervention in Syria against Bashar-Al Assad is Morally Just (even if it comes too late)

In regards to Iraq you seem to only focus in on the potential WMD's and not the other inertia that supported the Iraq Invasion in other people's perspective (Attempted genocide on Kurdistan, attempted establishment of a Greater Iraq by means of invasion and the gross abuses of the Oil-for-food-programme which led to much malnutrition; to name but a few). The invasion wasn't "all for nothing" it achieved the 8 main objectives of 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' and gave Iraq democracy and a free press. I'm by no means trying to support the Iraq war I'm just saying that in-between many of the glaring negatives of misconduct and pretence there are some positives to be found. Saying that half a million Iraqi civilians, 318 coalition solders and 4,486 US milllatry personnel died for nothing strikes me as cold, naive and absurd. I don't support war flippantly and am not a Neo-Con so I'd urge you to not let this bad example (although recent) inflict too much fear in your judgement. Following your logic of not attacking a country as long as it does not invade others - should we have left Hitler alone if he didn't assault Poland? From your response I infer that you seem to believe that America shouldn't care about Syria (please correct me if i'm wrong good sir). 2 million civilians have been displaced and over 100,000 killed in the conflict! Jordan and other neighbouring countries are packed full of refugees they're struggling to look after; Polio has even broken out! Syria is a huge international issue, and America is whether you like it or not a prominent world power with the world's largest military budget; You're the most practically qualified to assist the insurgency. Why not divert your drones away from blowing up pakistani and yemense villages, and actually put them to good use for once! Syrian intervention is matter of moral dignity not imperialist superiority! History will look back on this event in revulsion if we don't attack! To paraphrase Sartre's existentialism and humanism 'there is no hope except in action': that axiom has stark relevance here, as a strike against Assad is the only way now to finally emancipate the oppressed peoples' of Syria from its current state of quasi-fascism. By ignoring the revolution you leave the Syrian people/usurpers with no one to turn to but the islamists (who are often infighting with the rebels, as the islamists often try to magistrate their lw on them). We must help end this war before syria truly implodes leaving millions without their nation! This is a battle we must fight to not only punish the past, change the present and preserve a future! The next point i'd like to address is the ill-informed fallacy that there is barely any evidence proving regime forces performed the chemical attack on 'Ghouta'. Here is some counter evidence to your claim: . British firms have revealed that over the last few years they have traded in chemicals with the syrian regime and given them chemicals that could be used to create the nerve agent Sarin . One of the rockets used came from the soviet union (we know that Russia has consistently supplied the syrian regime with weapons for decades now) . The Syrian government denied inspectors initial access to Ghouta . .. .. .. .suspicious . Triangulating rocket trajectories pinpoints the origin of the attack as within government-held territory. Consideration of missile ranges provides additional evidence the rockets originated from the triangulated government-held region. . "Human Rights Watch and arms experts monitoring the use of weapons in Syria have not documented Syrian opposition forces to be in the possession of the 140mm and 330mm rockets used in the attack or their associated launchers (both are partial groups analysing the conflict) . The attacks were also "large-scale", involving at least 12 rockets targeting two different neighbourhoods situated 16 km apart, and surrounded by major Syrian government military positions. . The attacks were meticulous and tactical, requiring large amounts of nerve agent, specialised procedures to load the warheads with the nerve agent, and specialised launchers to launch the rockets (hardly what you'd expect from Rebels who actually have to build their own firearms in a lot of areas) . Wind conditions of the day support claim . New Scientist noted that there appeared to be no government troop casualties from the attack And this is just to specify a few! Hardly "Just a video" old sport. So what they joined the chemical convention; The regime still have a huge stock of conventional weapons that administer just as much damage (most notably their shells which rain down on Aleppo and Ghouta daily, destroying hospitals, homes, schools and lives daily! ). If you think the destruction of Assad's chemical stockpile will magically end the war your'e truly deluded good sir. Granted the economic cost is substantial but is worth it purely on humanitarian value. The cost of the proposed isn't impossible however and could be lessened/ solved by budget restructuring in the military department (primarily in Israeli Aid). And also the cost of the attack hasn't yet been finely extrapolated as experts say the differing courses of potential action have different costs. Don't let hideous regimes of vitriol and inhumanity like Putin and khamenei govern this war: we must stand up for the Syrian Street! This is a matter of global geo-politics and human rights don't analyse it within the paradigm of introverted national politics. I'll adressVietnamCommen In conclusion I have a couple of passing questions I wish to ask you for clarification of your stance and ethos: 1) Are you a pacifist? (apathy with an alibi) 2) Do you support and vindicate the Assad regime? 3) Are you a libertarian
