Okay. Let's relax and look at this objectively then. If this all about humanitarian efforts, why is the U.S. invested?
The US is invested only because Obama put his foot in his mouth and needs to save credibility. Before that, people wanted to enter Syria (the government and country as a whole cared less about it) for a number of reasons with some dating back to the cold war years and wanting democracy over dictators. Some actually want the Muslim brother hood in power (see our reaction to Egypt).
Again, here is why your oil fails. Nothing will be different if Assad is removed from power with respect to oil or pipelines. In fact, the one pipeline that Syria has refused to allow from Qatar, was originally supposed to go through Saudi Arabia first, but the refused to allow it so Syria was the second option. Saudi, btw, is one of if not the largest supporters of the Syrian rebels. So you are having us to believe that a pipeline that could go through a friendly county is the reason why that friendly country is supporting a rebellion in another country in which the pipeline could also go and that those rebels who are mostly unfriendly to the US will somehow allow the US or the friendly county to control the pipeline and other oil interest.
Do you realize how convoluted and insane that sounds when you go through the motions?
You're showing ideology, where I hadn't by using the term "evil." Corporations are amoral; there is no good or evil. They are profit driven. However, as long as human slavery, trafficking, and suffering, as long as warfare is profitable, then it does become a moral issue.
So what separates you from the idiots out there that couldn't look into the details enough to understand a thought properly is the term Evil? I'm sorry I associated it with you then. I guess I might be one of those elitists you were talking about.
That's exactly what you're doing. Everything you posted you pulled out your ass and wasn't based upon current events, facts, or a thousand years of literature, history, philosophy, and economics. You argued just to argue.
You are either stupid or being spoon fed by idiots. Not one thing I mentions is as you say. Open you eyes and ears.
In your first post, you justified warfare based upon the semantics of a speech given a year ago. It could have been a red line, a blue line, a black line, an invisible line. That's delusional.
And what is really delusional is you thinking I justified or attempted to justify war at all in what I posted. I said that Obama would try to get out of it and he got himself caught up with his mouth writing checks his ass didn't want to cash because he is an amateur. Think of him as the god catcher acting as governor. The only reason war is seriously on the US radar is because Obama tried to look tough and got called out. Kerry is even in Europe saying our waring response will be "unbelievably small" trying to convince people it will not be a war at all.
You have to understand the mentality of these people. Someone does something bad and the public cries there should be a law about that. Well, most of the time there already was a law but they jump up and create a law that does a whole lot of things but stop whatever people were outraged about and they title the law as "the law to stop outrageous behavior" and say they did something. It is all about appearances and emotion with them. It is all stage one thinking with little deep or long term thought into long term consequences.
