It's not illegal to make war without a UN resolution, and chemical weapons can be used legally against enemy combatants, it's is illegal to use them against civilians which is what happened on Syria.

Also, the opinion that you choose to have makes me want nothing more to bring every US troop home and return to our isolationist ways, not because I think you're right, but because I think you're ungrateful.

This argument comes up a lot. There are two fundamentally different world views going on here.
You're saying RaZor that Osiris should be happy that the US is helping out with international issues.
Osiris would be just as unhappy with France right about now who are also helping out.
He's not anti-american intervention. He's anti-war. He's asking why a boatload more of our fellow man are going to have to die because this docuhe Assad decided he was gonna gas some of his people.

You two aren't gonna agree.
You're both fighting a a different argument.
You're happy for people to die to prove a point. He's not.

Ungrateful that when the US goes to war to protect natural resources, it's not becuse we need them, but it's for the benefit of the free world and the free market.

Big statement. Nobody outside of the policy makers will ever know this for sure.

Ungrateful that surrounding Russia and China with military assets is probably the only thing keeping them from rolling over Europe and South East Asia respectively.

Huh? The cold war that made enemies of Russia and America is long forgotten in europe.

Ungrateful that the American tax payer spends so much on defense, that the rest of your countries don't have to and get to be free riders on the Pax Americana.

Again you're arguing here that America are doing this on Europe's behalf.
They're not.

Britain and France were representing the EU in this.
Britain have pulled out because a democratic vote determined that they had right to go into Syria.
France on the other hand are chomping at the bit to go into Syria. It was French intelligence that killed Gadaffi lately too.

And Ungrateful for all the America blood spilled to save the world from fascism and than communism.

Point 1- Fascism:
A lot more European than Americans died in WW2 and it was a collaborative effort that won that war.

There were twice as many Japanese CIVILLIAN deaths from the US dick measuring exercises Nagasaki and Hiroshima than US MILITARY deaths over the entire war. Just think about that. Thousands of innocent people evaporated long after the war had been won in Europe.

Point 2 Communism:
America didn't save the world from Communism. America and Russia, the two biggest super-egos on the planet, decided work out their difference like spoiled children for half a century. Don't kid yourself communism failed en massé due to internal abuses.

The communist system is better and fairer than the capitalist system in theory. The problem with communism is that it requires a level of egailty and fairness from the people at the top that most people don't seem to have. We shouldn't be proud that communism fell. It speaks volumes about the fickle and self-serving nature of the human spirit.

The capitalist system on the other hand requires that people BE what they are: self-serving and greedy.
Capitalism works because we, the people who pursue the capitalist ideal, are jealous self-serving individuals.

It's a black mark on the history of the human race that we did not care enough about our fellow man to make communism work, but would rather fight and compete with one another at every turn instead.

Fuck man. It really annoys me when people talk about a system that was designed to bring justice, fairness and brotherhood to the masses as if it were evil. The people who ran it were fucktards, that's the problem.
Capitalism works because it's adapted to the fucktard mentality that we all seem to have.

Depressing.

"I think the official reason for this is to discourage the use of weapons deemed to be inhuman."

Yes because napalm and many many other weapons never fell in to this category.

I personally am so sick of this crap. Mind your own business. If Syrians want to kill each other so be it, let them do it.

I don't remember anyone trying to sort out Rwanda when their goverment was slaughtering their own people.
I wonder why?

These people should be fired: 100 guys to 20 Girls? What kind of half assed orgy management is that?
