Lowering the bar for chemical weapon use is everyone's problem.

What do you mean by lowering the bar? What height should the bar be set at?

If your so anxious to kick down doors and solve problems, then strap up, kit out and serve your conscience overseas.

I'm anxious that the use of chemical weapons be punished.
I'm not going myself because I've got an egg on and there's nobody to feed the cat .


If you want to get nationalistic about it, there are already over 100 Irish soldiers in Syria.

August - excellent point, I should have worded that better.

As someone who did serve their conscience overseas, i take issue with hawkish people who advocate putting other peoples lives at risk, and then sitting comfortably at home doing nothing.

Sidestepped what? I was facetious in response to a question that doesn't work. Your line of argument doesn't work. You argue for no intervention. Where do you get the right to say that, when you're not involved on the ground in Syria and therefore unable to make a judgement? See, it's broken.

But advocating that the lives already at risk from chemical weapons should remain at risk from them is just fine?

Strewth.

GT, what would we do without it.

If we could have caught the unit in the act of using these chemical weapons and hit them right then, I wouldn't have much of a problem with that. But that is not the case at all, this whole thing could spin out of control by one simple mistake. Is Assad feels like he is cornered and doesn't see a way out, who will he strike at?

with the chemical arsenal Syria has, a lot of innocent people will die. I wish there was an easy answer to this situation but there isn't. If we strike Syria with missiles, its going to be like a man hitting a bee's nest with a stick, just to see what happens.

I know that, but it sure looks like he is using it to support his ideas!
