Polls say roughly 70% of Americans do not want to be involved in Syria. I'm with them. But you can count on our government to ignore us and do what's "best" - especially for their pockets. They disregard our will at our expense. Then they'll be claiming there is no money for social programs and infrastructure. There's always money for companies like Halliburton.

Ugh! It's Disgusting! But there's nothing we can do about any of it. Bill D., I hear ya. I've been looking at this thread for a couple of days now and groaning at the prospect of the usual polemic exchange from people with all the answers. So my response to this situation in Syria is to enjoy the peace that's in front of me right now. My dog and I are going to grill a steak this afternoon and eat it with a salad. He likes blue cheese.
