Interested as to your opinion...

LOL .. they sure cooked him well ....
Don`t need to pretend it is a republican president, or a dem congress or whatever ...
The basic premise is wrong : Syria is none of your business ... not more then was Lybia , Iraq ...
Now, if the US still wants to go and intervene, it would need approval of the congress, then go to UN/Nato with that mandate . Looks like Panetta is in reverse mode ...
Still, doing a 'so called no-fly zone ' (
) will just continue to destabilize whatever stability is left in the middle-east and pout in power extremist religious dictatorial governments and supply optimum conditions for al-quaeda type of organisations to flourish and do terrorists acts ...
Lybia, that we no longer see in the US news, is a mess; country is splitting up between tribes, so called ' rebels ' are torturing citizens ( mainly blacks ) and so on.
In Syria, the ' good' rebels are torturing , then executing forces of the government ...
Why is the US so fucking concerned about Syria ( aside that they are on a list of enemies ) ... Did you act in South Africa during apartheid, or Congo - Darfour, or Rwanda, or Chile ( oups, you did but on the torturer side ) ...
Just stay home, take care of your problems, let others take care of theirs ....
