My feeling is that 99% of the reason people say they don't want to do anything is because they think it's one conspiracy theory or another and it makes me sick.

Put another way, what WOULD it take? Forget someone else telling you anything, what would your eyes need to witness before you would use a remote weapon to bomb a site that fired the weapons you SAW kill babies with chemicals? Forget whatever the real situation is, would you want to take out a missile site that fired a weapon that you SAW kill babies with chemical agents or not?

I don't get people on this issue but really want to. Again, forget the reality and just pretend the president of Syria walked up to a baby carriage and sprayed poison into it. Would you say "no" to intervention? Do people really say "no" to intervening? Or "no" because they don't believe anyone anymore?

Again, 99% positive it's all conspiracy/false flag/ whack a mole conspiracy theory of the day reasoning behind polls like that, but would love to hear someone explain how it's fine with them if people use chemical weapons as long as it's not in their baby's face.
