(9,288 posts)I get what you are saying and can respect that.
I ask that you respect my belief that as bad as Assad is, getting rid of him will only allow another blood thirsty asshole in (one who will probably want to install a theocracy) or result in an endless bloody civil war causing only more death and hurt and international terrorism. No matter what we do tons of blood will spill and the only thing getting involved will do is stain our hands with blood as well.
Further, I believe both sides will use us as a scapegoat for anything and everything that goes wrong.
I believe we need to let the people of Syria decide Syria's fate.
And most of all, I believe we should seek every single peaceful method to bring an end to this conflict before even thinking of using military force. We have not come close to doing that.
I respect your opinion, please respect mine in VEHEMENTLY disagreeing with you.
