Why So Syria?

As a complete non-political entity, I do have to ask one question: Why is it that dogs learn when you hit them in the nose with a newspaper, but politicians don't?  Actually, maybe the smack on the nose would be a good idea for a politician!

In the years before World War I and for a few years of that slaughter, the United States was isolationist.  They didn't want to get involved anywhere.  After that, the U.S. decided to get involved in just about any conflict anywhere.  And yet, after Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan ... there's talk of dropping bombs on the moms in Syria.  Sigh.... and people wonder why we don't go to war.  Even experts can't tell who the good guys are in Syria!  Fact is ... there are no good guys.  There are just bad guys and the innocents who get caught in the crossfire.  And those innocents are flowing out of Syria into Saudi Arabia and other lands to get away from the executions, gas attacks, bombings, machine guns, and various other forms of slaughter.

I've got news for anyone who feels justified and "good" in going to battle:  God isn't with you.  Really.  Check your Bibles.  When God was with a military force, not only did that force win, but they won either with no losses, or without even having to fight.  Ever see that happen in modern times?  Didn't think so.

I believe that President al-Assad of Syria is guilty of using sarin gas on the "rebels".  I also believe that the "rebels" are guilty of executing captured soldiers.  Why do I believe this?  Because the proof is there.  Because we have been warned that people would go from bad to worse in this "time of the end".  Because humans with weapons of any kind (and even without weapons) have proven themselves to be cruel and vicious beyond belief.

It's sad.  Truly.  And pitiful.  And disgusting.

That's just another example of why we preach peace.
