Syria needs to be attacked

BLM:90 WHM:90 SMN:90 THF:90 WAR:90 DRK:90 RNG:90 PLD:90

The most important thing to remember in the war vs Syria is that we have the chance to stop the use of gas in conflict before it occurs repeatedly over and over. We don't want to be the guy that gives your blind enemy a chance to put his glasses on. Imagine if we had stopped Pakistan from testing their nuclear weapons oh so long ago. That resolve would have prevented 911 and would have put everyone neatly in line behind us. A couple of nukes later may have cost us a city of do but there would be worldwide concensus on nukes.  Control would be there and probably at a cost less than what we spent doing what we did in Iraq.  All we can do now is beleaguer that point knowing that going down a path slowly or fast towards the control of weapons is still better than being on the wrong one. It's better than standing still, too. 

Now I am a staunch Democrat when it comes to OUR people.  I believe in Food Stamps, Social Security, and raising taxes.  I believe most religious types should trust in a larger gov't that regulates people that are not religious.  How Christians and poor people and black people and foreigners and handicapped people... how these people end up believing that less government is better when it is obvious that we are an "opportunist" nation that denies a connection between church and state... boggles my mind.  I am a Christian but I understand what happens when you don't have a belief.  Porn, gambling, raising the bar, blind leaps, loopholes are all things legal and rewarding for those willing to "risk" success marketing these non-christian ideas.  People without belief follow these ideas in the BELIEF that the reward or the loss is a logical conclusion to the risk they took.  In time, people like this start to reap a lot of success after having failed and believe because they are working harder, that other people are just not trying hard enough. (Republicans this means you). Fact is, these people don't realize they can only win because the table is unbalanced in their favor.  Imagine going to a casino where you have nonstop jackpots.  It's not normal, you know it they know it so why tell yourself omg Im lucky  when you know you supposed to be losing.  The goal in this situation is to take the game and level the playing field. Take the drugs, legalize em and control em.  Take porn, legalize it and control it.  Take gambling, legalize it and control it.  After the govt has a hand in it, it's not very profitable but it does bear doing for those people that have acumulated an affinity for the risk.  Rest assured that the young people learn quickly.  Look at smoking and gambling and lottery.  Mostly only old people still do these things.  Im too tired to edit so this is gonna sound incongruous.

So in sum, our people are sometimes selfish esp if they are not religious but it still means we can rule them with an approach that applies a "liberal" amt of government to regulate them.  This is expensive but it is a more caring approach that rewards slowness and thoughtfulness with widely accepted norms and protocols all can understand.

But in matters of foreign affairs, our sleeves should be rolled up, our boots laced and polished, our hair parted just so, our smile perfected so that a slight glint of pleasure eerily betrays our honest approach towards conflict.  Noone is going to be allowed to get ahead.  No tolerance for violence is going to overlooked.  Zero to none of the betrayal we saw in Pakistan and in the old USSR is going to be part of the norm now.  Women should be sitting up straight wondering just how fast the attack will come from the Republican party.  Noone in the world wants the LOAD we gonna unleash for just looking in our direction.  Expect secrets, expect cruelty, expect a lack of manners, republicans might seems like the GOTO guys in war but all they are is just less thoughtful, less genuine, less sympathetic.  If you think that makes the military better because it sucks more then you as dumb as they are. 

Sadly, we bear the brunt of the cause for distrust in the world.  Yet our inspiration is drawn from the wellspring of resolute ppl that govern our industries.  We KNOW what we did and we know we have to make up for it and we know we are looked at with disdain. 

But the message we can send to the world is that hundreds don't answer for the 10s that deceive us.   As Democrats we inspire by being thoughtful. As Republicans, we inspire people with money because keeping treasure is much harder than finding it.  So we gotta defend it and often and that translates into a healthy respect for killing ppl that want some of what we got.  And I'm fine with that tho maybe soldiers should rethink what they believe in because tho Republicans want a larger military, they also want to WAVE THAT MAGIC WAND. 

Another thing that is particular to this conflict is the use of Sarin.  It's much cheaper than missiles isn't?  Making gas bombs compared to regular is like making meth next to Tylenol.  This omission of action is not only going to allow gas bombs to become much more dispersed in the region, it's going to allow the secret to get out as to how to make these weapons.

You better believe when someone uses one of these weapons here, if it happens, it will be the shot heard round the world and we don't have to wait for that to happen if we will just stick to our principles now. 

I agree that actions done by another sovereign nation are their own concern like my rep from FL said today.  Maybe he feels the same way about Russia and their take on LGBT, lol. I was surprised how right he sounded, but then I got scared.  I have been bitten before and seen the thing happen too many times.  You fail to spray that cockroach and just hope it will go away only to have it crawl right up to your mouth and take a drink while you're sleeping.  Or you shoo the wasp away only to have it buzz your ear while you're reading a little while later.  

You probably think I want to spray some RAID on Syria don't you?  Nah,  harassment works.   A little embargo, an aircraft carrier and some daily reminders like food drops or purple smoke even just to let them know that money is watching, will get them to the discussion table and allow us to set up IDs, elections, and then simple enlistment for the NEW police that uses tasers for control, all the while allowing our military use of drones to OVERSEE policing.  It should be obvious now that belief, is a very important thing to discuss by the overseers and though we have no beliefs, ppl there have to give up theirs and sign on to establishing a new country, a NEW BELIEF, a NEW religion or system for governing... old buildings, old priests, old races or perceived alignments notwithstanding.

Maybe they should start by adopting OUR preamble.  Maybe they could even, set it to music.
