Syria: a civil war (closed)

[J Wolfsberger]

Those that failed to demonstrate a phlegmatic disposition would be sent on their way.

So, is your characterization of the U.S. as a vacillating, dysfunctional, cowardly, declining empire evidence of your "phlegmatic disposition?" Or perhaps the ad hominems tossed off at Bob and Dayuhan?

Let me try and summarize: You think the U.S. should intervene in Syria, and seem to recognize that such would have to be military. The rest of us believe it would be pointless to do so. You disagree, strongly.

You have yet to make any strong case for why the U.S. should take up that burden, the cost to us, what the likely outcome will be in Syria, what the consequences might be for the U.S., what the domestic and international blow-back will be, etc.

State your case, absent the ad hominems, and let's see where it goes.
