27. If Bush/Cheney/McCain were in the White House, the US would have attacked long ago.

I give Obama credit for not doing in Syria what B/C/M would have done long ago for the wrong reasons and in the stupidest way possible.

I don't believe a strike even now, after all of Obama's restraint, is a good idea because it will make a terrible situation even worse. I blame most of Syria's problems on Assad, but the fact is there is little we can do about them. I feel for the Syrian people. I'm glad I am not the president.

Oh and I would support a republican president even less. They are not known for restraint, wisdom or any level of caring for people in other countries. (Not surprising since they care little for most people in our country, as well.) They attack without showing any of these traits.
