OF THE
TIMES
If there was a place in American government or international humanitarian institutions for "morality," or "fairness," or "justice," then all of these august bodies would presently be overwhelmed with ongoing investigations of American war crimes and crimes against humanity, instead of vacuously, deceptively, deliberating military strikes upon the people, who dare to resist American aggression. Cruise missile, or other air strikes to cripple the defenses of the Assad government, can only lead to intensified suffering and death for the civilians of Syria, as secular terrorists battle "Islamist" terrorists for control of whatever is left, this mini-civil war promised to follow within Syria, after Western attacks successfully ignite region-wide civil war.
Comment: We find it interesting that the French and British governments stalled at the same time, suggesting that the decision to hold off an invasion/airstrikes was made prior to the House of Commons vote.
In any event, it looks like the mighty Western Empire is afraid that Syria might actually be able to defeat them!
Bullies don't like anything even close to a fair fight.
