And for the record, ('cause I know you were all wondering), I'm against action in Syria.
I think helping either side is a huge mistake. These people hate us, and playing police of the world is not a good move.
But Syria is screwed up. Instead of attacking and solving no problems in doing so, the global community (US included) should focus our resources on helping the refugees. We should build whole cities if necessary. If families want to start over somewhere else, let's take them there. Build schools in refugee camps. In short, undertake a humanitarian mission on a scale the world has never before seen. Show Syrians that the West is not evil, that democracy means the freedom to live one's daily life without fear of your own government being after you.
Helping either Syria's messed up government or the rebels who hate the U.S. and the West will not solve any problems in the long run, and in the short run will probably make things a lot worse. Instead, we should seek to change through direct, immense aid to the ones who are suffering.
What do you guys think?
