I heard a very interesting discussion on TV last night concerning the Syria decision to "go in" or not go into a conflict of any kind with this country, SYRIA. It seems that the President plans to choose one of these options but hopefully Congress (that's the Senate and House of Representative for you public schoolers) will be deeply involved. Joe Biden, the current Vice President said in the past that if Bush, when he was President, went into a similar conflict without Congressional approval he, then Senator Joe Biden would push for impeachment. So, it would be a good thing to get consensus not only in our own elected government but also at the U.N. And also, not to be a bunch of Hypocrites in which you shoot your mouth off as a Senator threatening Impeachment, and then as Vice President you clam up when an identical situation arrises and your President acts without Congressional approval. Hypocrisy is not cool. Hip Hop is not either.
The point brought up by the two retired military officers whose careers were in "intelligence" is that it is impossible to pick sides in Syria. The government is an amoral bunch lead by a man who has no problem using poison gas on his own people, including women and children, the most innocent of citizens (possibly believing that those kids will grow up to be the next generation of Jihadists since they are uneducated and hungry). The rebels are, more of less, the same people who attacked us on 9-11, Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Hamas, you know the folks who hate us and want us all to die a horrible death. So these military men suggested that we not take sides at all and let the two sides kill one another. They likened it to having Japan attack Germany in the 1940s and then we jump in one the side of one of them when it would be best to let them duke it out while we watch. For those of you educated in America's high schools in recent times, I am referring to World war 2. It happened a very long time ago, way before the birth of Beyonce' and Miley Cyrus.
