Syria

I'm curious... A lot of people have been arguing that we shouldn't attack Syria. I saw the video of who we would be allying ourselves with out there and I agree those guys look crazy. Some have claimed we would be helping Al Qaeda and if that's true then I agree we shouldn't be involved in any conflict where we would give aid to the organization that murdered 3000 innocent people almost 12 years ago... But is that the only argument?

Allow me to play Devil's Advocate for a moment. How can we, the United States, be OK, as one of the most enlightened nations in the world, with allowing thousands more innocents to be murdered. Granted they are not Americans citizens, they are humans. And then there's the potential threat of allowing the use of chemical weapons to go unchecked. Is there not a "lesser of two evils" here?

I guess at this point we will see how things play out. Congress knows where it's constituents stand and President Obama has a clear goal; time for some politics.
