First of all, I am from the U.S. If you are from the US and are prone to jimmy rustling, do not comment if you're just going to flame. This is strictly my opinion on the subject of the war in Syria.
First off, a poll was taken and it shows over 90 percent of people DID NOT want anything to do with the war in Syria. I will attach a poll and see what TTG members think.
Okay, so as you may or may not know, the U.S. is contemplating a military strike on Syria due to use of chemical weapons on their people. This lead to thousands of sick and dying people going to hospitals. Now, the president of Syria is putting the blame on Rebels. Now, if the U.S. decides to use this military strike on Syria, this will more than likely lead to a war. Another war in the middle east. Russia has strongly urged America against this. And the UK says they will not the helping the US due to a vote and the words of her people.
What do I think on the matter?
I think this is stupid. We have enough to deal with over here in the US. We have thousands of kids and adults dying due to poverty or crime. Unemployment is high, job rates and pays are low. We simply can not afford a war, especially one that does not involve us. If the US makes this strike, this could be the start of WW3. And I think that's what people don't realize. Instead of making friends, the US is making enemies. We are starting the possible doom of not only our nation, but most of the world. Russia, if they decide to join on the syrian side, has more nukes than us and are not afraid to use them. But, back to the WW3 topic. We simply can not afford that. Both military-wise and as a country. Now, I have backed Obama in a lot of things. From gay rights to gun control. But he is no longer listening to his people. 90% of American's have said they do not want a war on syria. And he is still urging it. What does this tell you?
Let Syria do this on their own. If it was truly the rebels, then the government will do it. Or maybe even a neighboring country can do it. There is absolutely NO NEED for us to do it. The war in Iraq is/was long and grueling. And what did we accomplish over there? This will just be part two. I'm honestly sick of us trying to police the other countries like we do ours. We have no right anymore. I believe a country can handle it's own.
Obama, from me and most of your people, if you truly care about this country, you won't strike Syria.

I agree 100% it is not our job to intervene in this CIVIL war, the need to decide it by themselves. Out of all the countries that are talking about doing something, the people of those countries don't want to go to war. I do not think that this will lead to WW3 if we do get involved.

First people wanted the US to intervene and when Obama and a couple politicians finally consider intervening everyone goes berserk about it.I don't understand Americans,and I don't want to go full forward on a military strike but if it starts turning into mass murder and complete collapse of the government the UN might have to intervene.

Haiti?Are you serious?Haiti?You know Haiti was a relief effort not some invasion,civil war,or mass genocide no it was a relief effort by the US and organizations like Red Cross and we weren't the only ones involved other countries took part as well and the UN even sent help.You my friend are off of it,Haiti is no where near related.

It seems to me that people really don't understand this situation.
If Assad wins this civil war, he will gain power over all Sunni-Arab nations.
That is the US' worst nightmare.
If the rebels win, the US will have to go through another wave of mass terrorism.
Which is also bad.
You simply need to choose which is worse.
People need to stop focusing on right now and look to the future in these situations.
Do I think intervention is needed in Syria? Yes.
In the long term, it will have better results than if nothing is done.

No doubt the UK will take a second vote as to whether military action is required and I cannot speak for America but the U.S is still a young country and still desperate to flex it's muscles and I feel sorry for any country that comes up against them.
However China and Russia have opposed any conflict in Syria and the UK has backed out (for now). China and Russia are chomping at the bit for action and believe me they are ready, but if America must go in to resolve this and then everything goes to hell in a handbasket I fear for millions of people because a War will have started.
My opinion is to leave this the hell alone and let Syria deal with it's own problems but tbh it can go either two ways. Terrorism or War.

It's not our war and going over there would be stupid but we can't let someone gain too much power also.

What this guy said is true. Its the future/longterm problems that matter not right now.
