Okay, by these answers, I'm sure you don't know what you are talking about.
Okay.
For one thing, here is our national debt.
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 01 Sep 2013 at 08:28:52 PM GMT is:
$ 16, 744, 329, 085, 221.40
For another thing, no war is not profitable. It is expensive in terms of both money and lives.
When I mentioned "long term" I meant after the war. War itself, yes, it is costly on the two.
Airstrikes are not going to accomplish anything except killing more people. IF we happened to get lucky and get Assad, that does nothing to rule out a civil war or a worse regime taking over.
Make sure the right regime takes over.
Good God, the problem is NOT the media. Do you actually think the United States gets it's intelligence from the media and they don't know what's happening around the world without the media? :lamo Holy smokes is all I can say to that!!! The media is a GOVERNMENT TOOL, not the other way around my confused friend.
See it is in times like these that you make the conversation very difficult for me. Which part of "Why this particular area was put in the media compared to say atrocities committed from Budhists in Burma may be due to your political leadership and their international policies and agendas" did you not understand? Do not I get the message across to you that the government is selecting this type of media for you to see in purpose so as to have you go with their decisions?
What long-term interests do we have in Syria? Please tell.
Think natural resources.
You are just completely missing the point about other atrocities. There have been FAR WORSE atrocities in the past, and NOBODY intervened. Maybe it is a language barrier problem or something. :shrug:
Yeah, something is definitely being lost in communication here. I do not know. I keep on telling you that intervention cannot be applied to all atrocities at once, and that it takes time to build up to that, and yet all you do is respond back the same old "But there were worse atrocities and no one intervened back then!" comments.
Either way I am not getting much from this exchange. Further, to be honest, if I had a smallest clue that you are not just ignorant and are just doing this on purpose just to piss me off you would have been long ignored and friendships eliminated.
You are right on your second to last comment. It is NOT our problem, nor is it our business. If something happens over there that WOULD directly effect us, such as threats of attacks or actual attacks on us or OUR interests, we can handle that as it happens.
That would be defensive passive activity. This is politics made to gain and liberate, and would be more pro-active instead.
