Does Obama Have the Right to Change His Mind on Syria?

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Obama is Kenyan? I thought he was American.

I did also, Yet I keep hearing them call him African-American

Kenya is in Africa right ?

Yes, all good points. But doesn't it feel the slightest bit wrong to just let so many people die and sit back and watch it happen?

I don't know what, if anything, could stop it. But I don't like it happening, for years, with no one doing anything.

No, because the world isn't our backyard. We can't control everything nor should we try. Bad things happen. It is what it is.

The Republicans should take a play out of the Democrats play-book.

Vote 100% for military action and when it becomes unpopular ....blame the whole thing on Obamer.

It won't work. Only Republicans actually care what people think of them.

[Danno 1,228]

Of course the poll is dishonest...... suggesting some "new information" became available which made Obama blink.

Many many thousands die fro Malaria every year in Africa. For the cost of several cruise missiles we could save many thousands more lives, and not risk starting a global war.

So if the goal is just saving as many human lives as possible this has a very very poor cost to benefit ratio.

There must not be any Republicans in Congress then.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Yes. I like when people proudly display their stupidity. It brings me joy.

There are pages of serious topics posted every day, with plenty of expressed opinions in them.

Lighten up. It's okay to joke once in awhile.

They are voting their constituencies, or haven't you noticed?

I am not suggesting that the US should fix the world, and in fact I am very much against that. But I do have a bit of misanthropy that no one in the world cares about a stalemate civil war.

To whoever regarding malaria. Yes, the west does nonsense things like trying to give everyone in Africa a computer, or buying expensive MRI machines for areas that don't have electricity. I have read that what a lot of communities need is mosquito nets, that cost about $1 each. That would be a worthy cause.

The Western world won't "fix" the Islamic Zombie problem.

Syria = Islamic Zombies trying to take down a Secular Gov.

The U.S. should stay out of it. Period.

Let the Arab world police itself for awhile coz bottom line = Only the Arab world can fix the IZ problem.

Sir...

I know I have been gone and probably missed it

John Boehner's House has an approval rating below hemorrhoids. How's that possible when perception weary Republicans run the show there?

I don't understand that at all, but that's ok. I don't have to.
