What are my fellow B3tan's thoughts on the Syria crisis?
I find it laughable that the U.S is on a "diplomatic" tour to rally support to strike another country, all the while saying it is not to start a war?!
Hardly going to start a peace process is it?

Get involved in tribal conflict, impose arbitrary national boundary, install a corrupt government or dictatorship, work on "my enemy's enemy is my friend", act surprised when they turn out not to be, rinse and repeat.

You can define "tribal" any way you like, it doesn't have to mean of a common ethnic descent, it gets applied to fans of the same football team, for example. It's more about common behaviors and views than skin colour.

If we don't intervene wiv guns an bombs we're basically saying 'the UK has no problem with you gassing your citizens, fill your boots'.
But we're also not the world's police, it ain't up to us to be swooping in to save them from blowing each other up, ain't our problem, we've got shit to deal with too man, think about us.
SO TO CONCLUDE dunno

Show us the compelling evidence, then fair do's.
I don't trust the U.S after their last WMD cry, and none were found.
