BTW, in those parts of the world they do not fight by the rules of the Hague Land Warfare charter or the Geneva Convention anyway. You can voice your important protest against that violation, if it offends your civilised sentiments, okay. I'm sure they will consider your protest thoroughly and then make up their minds.

In this case I agree. If we in and bomb, it will be a joke. Already reports of the radical rebels capturing christian towns, torturing, burning churches, etc.

I hope congress will say no, be smart, but seems congress has always been stupid. Ready a book on the American Revolution, while Washington and his army were starving on the Delaware, congress issued a decree, a day of fasting for the nation and army.
