When we're done with Assad, I'd like to take out Mugabe next, then the Sudan. Can we invade Burma? I think we should at least be talking about it.<br /><br />I tried not to inject my own opinion prior to asking this poll question because I wanted to see where the votes fell on their own.The_Icemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887740772649135851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-88875365640315168262011-08-23T05:41:17.417-07:002011-08-23T05:41:17.417-07:00Wow.

Over 2000 people and counting have been murdered by Assad's oppressive regime, and you guys are just gonna sit back and say "welp, not our problem?"<br /><br />Furthermore, saying these people are our enemies? Bullshit. The people of Libya and Syria and Bahrain and all the fucking rest don't want shit to do with international affairs, not right now anyway. They would just like to be able to enjoy the same kind of freedoms you do (and you have them, whether or not the US and UK are "police states" is a different matter) and get rid of their asshole dictators.<br /><br />Libya wouldn't be where it is now if it weren't for NATO. And the vast majority of Libyans, as far as I can tell, are pretty fucking grateful for it as long as we don't make a clusterfuck of it like we did for Iraq.<br /><br />"mern mern mern I can't pay off my mortgage because the government is full of fuckwits."<br /><br />You say that in any of the places I've mentioned, you'd probably get arrested and have the shit beaten out of you.<br /><br />Stop thinking economics for just one goddamn minute and thing about compassion for your fellow human beings. Just because they are on the other side of the planet, just because they have beards and speak a funny language and pray to a different God (or same depending on your interpretation of Abrahamic religions), does not mean it's okay not to give a shit.<br /><br />Fuck all of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-88564713169282088072011-08-17T08:33:55.489-07:002011-08-17T08:33:55.489-07:00"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."<br /><br />Napolean BonaparteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-81635049730991476092011-08-15T14:43:22.089-07:002011-08-15T14:43:22.089-07:00I agree with the last 6 comments.

We should not be involved in Libya and neither should we be involved in Syria. Involved meaning military action of any sort. The reason is two fold; first we have no national stake in either and second there are serious doubts about the groups we are supporting. We may end up finding we have been supporting radical Islamists.Alainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-78646280687030846422011-08-15T11:51:06.431-07:002011-08-15T11:51:06.431-07:00Canada should issue a statement to Assad that his ...Canada should issue a statement to Assad that his actions are "unacceptable" or maybe even "completely unacceptable".<br /><br />If we want to get REALLY tough, maybe we should say,"utterly unacceptable".<br /><br />BUT,let's not spend one goddamned red cent or one soldier's life saving another third world shithole full of people that hate us,for the sake of appearances.<br /><br />Let the Syrians sort out their own mess,we are NOT big brother to the world.
