DUDE. Its none of our business! Did they use chemical weapons on us? Nope. Did they ask our divine messiah for help, or even his gay opinion? NOPE! Did WE fucking ask him? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SHUT THE FUCK UP, OBAMA!
IMPEACHIMPEACHIMPEACH
I'm not talking about Obama. Anybody should be obliged to react on the use of chemical warfare. Put USA aside, what about Italy? Turkey. India? Anybody.
No. Unless the chemical weapons are used against any of those countries BY Syria, or they ask any of them for help, then those countries are obligated to mind their own fucking business.
We forget we already have a procedure for this event. It is called the International Criminal Court. The UN security council could present a case and the perpetrators be arrested under International Law and tried for their crimes in Court in The Netherlands.
The biggest problem is the UN Security Council needs all members to agree. Russia will not agree. Have we dismissed this too quickly. The USA has 'evidence' and this should be presented to all members inc Russia and China. If the evidence is compelling enough but Russia still won't agree the CHANGE THE FUCKING RULES! A majority would do.
You can't do that? I think so. You would have a UN Security Council that is actually able to DO something? At the moment it is a joke.
The UN was established for peace. Making it actually usable would justify having it.
How many more innocent people will get killed in the so called military action?
Part of me wants to forget about these people. They are not my people. I just can't do it. Whatever moral fibre i have, it tells me NOT TO FORGET.
If I saw a bully, in the street, or for example a few guys beating shit out of one guy I would not just walk on by. I would do
something probably end up in hospital or arrested but I know I would do something. Even if that something was to call the police, or flag down others for help. Well that is what the Syrian Government are - big bullies.
We live in a world full of laws and legislation, mostly bullshit. I hate many of them. This is actually something I could justify using law.
Bombing the fuck out of Syria now will likely hurt more civilians. I am sure I heard on the news that the Syrian Government are moving certain types of it citizens around (prisoners i believe) so they will be human targets.
The UN should do what it is supposed to. If force is needed to remove the perpetrators then that force should fall on International shoulders, and be proportionate among members.
Something needs doing. The 'do nothing' option is still a choice, and one we have to live with.
