That's how I've solved problems in the past, not sure if you've read my book...
Exactly what I was thinking.
Free the people from one despotic regime and then you get some nutjob religious fanatic in charge preaching about the evils of the West etc etc.

it's pretty clear that a lot of you are under many misconceptions about the impending military action.
it is not in support of one faction or the other, it is a retaliatory action against the use of WMDs on one's own people.
i may as well have made a fart joke though, that distinction will fall on deaf ears.

Your argument appears to be that because a nation is not supposed to use chemical weapons against their own people then we are justified in intervening even if those same "people" are using chemical weapons against their government.?.? BOTH sides are likely guilty in the use of chemical weapons from all I've read. Club meets club, gun meets gun.

to what extent?

Does it matter? Would you not expect a small radical group to use any means at their disposal to further their cause (thinking Tim McVeigh and OK City, Al-Qaeda and planes/buildings, Afghan and Iraqi rebels/IEDs, etc)? IF I were a part of such a small and radical group I would consider it as well. But your argument is like saying the rapist isn't as deserving of punishment as the rapist/murderer imo. I disagree.

Seriously?
Just evacuate them?
Let the rebels We've funded to just keep fighting against the baathist? Then what? Permanent refugee camps?
Bashar Al Assad is fighting against Al Qaeda and winning. There is a Syrian diplomat going around Europe insisting he has evidence that the Western backed Al Qaeda rebels were the ones who used chem weapons.
Why would Assad invite Western response by using chem weapons in a war he was already winning?

it certainly does.
killing one or two combatants with chemical weapons to intimidate others is one thing, gassing hundreds or thousands of non-combatants is another.
but good job on the hillary impression!
no, that's not my argument at all. we're talking combatants versus non-combatants with huge, lopsided death tallies.

and then fire on them and bomb the gassed site, let's not forget.
If that did happen Assad would feel the wrath of the US and it's allies and lose the war.
Why would he do this?

so you're saying assad didn't fire on the inspectors?

I have no idea who fired on the inspectors.
The rebels despite what you may think aren't this noble bunch who want freedom, democracy and equality for all Syrians, they are most likely being headed by power hungry warlords who are equally capable of firing on UN inspectors.
Assad knows only too well that if there is international intervention it will be on the side of the rebels so I asked what would he have to gain by firing on them?

Yeah we've all heard that before... Syria is a part of the Libya problem...
Nah Obama wants those casualties to come from the US' civilian populace, at home... Theres no other reason to support sunni jihadists...
LOLerskates... What constitutes a serious conflict in your book?

A military action in SUPPORT of Al-Qaeda and Al-Nusra. Just being clear on what's happening
To be clear this is the continued push to ensure a full on sectarian war between sunni and shia.
