Who would you most trust to make a decision on Syria?

26. Yes.

Assad as shown restraint so far, as much as it disgusts me to say it. Hell I think in their twisted minds the early morning attack was justified by the idea that the children and elderly wouldn't wake up and would go quietly in their sleep.

I have 100% certainty that if there is a strike Assad will respond with so much force against the rebel and civilian population that it will make the world stand back in shock. And the fucked up part about it is that Obama will then be tasked to deal with the ensuing situation. Russia is fully prepared for this outcome because of the War in Chechnya so they know how to deal with mass casualties from a PR perspective. They'll back Syria no matter what.

And all the blame will be on Obama / the US for doing the strike to begin with.
