military intervention is massacre
Stop sell weapons to Seria

getting paid for shell filled toil

there is more to intervention than military actions
i watched where they are saying that america.. just america, no other UN member needs to "do somehting" about syria. did we sign some contract we dont know about that says no other country on the planet has to "do something" china has lots more money, and population.. if it matters .. let them. and they said 'the US could "beg" Russia to intervene. WTF? Why is it only on american pocketbooks that the world expects 'something to be done' if the world is so upset.. let them go "do something". we have americans to worry about,
The world does not give two hoots about Syria. Only the US and the Military Industrial complex does.
China, Russia and India, collectively home to a third of humanity dont want anyone to do anything about Syria.
Eastern Europe couldnt give a damn.
South America and Africa have enough of their own shit to deal with.
This leaves only the US and its puppet allies who want to do 'something.' Allies who are only making a fuss because the US is telling them to.
Leave Syria alone. They are putting down an armed rebellion inside their own borders. Would we be doing anything different? Would we like other nations imposing ceasefires and no fly zones over our soil in the face of civil war?
