What are Your Thoughts on the Looming Air War with Syria?

OK, so you admit there is no evidence to show that Assad used chemicals against his people!

Nope. I admit you're too lazy to look it up. You'd rather stick with your false statement.

It's easy to find. It's even posted on another thread right here on BB. Educate yourself.

Or not. Doesn't matter to me either way. But don't try to put words in my mouth that I didn't speak.

Again, zero evidence.

Look for news of German profiteering to surface sooner or later on this issue. Germany is in the hands of their second worst chancellor.

From a facebook friend -

From a friend this morning who has just arrived in Damascus, Syria: "A busy first day in Syria, as guests of the Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate. In Damascus, hours after the airstrikes, the streets are busy, life goes on as normal, and it is peaceful and calm. As usual, Syrians are profoundly resilient. People are both angry that the international community chose to bomb a country that has already spent seven years fighting a war against extremist jihadist militants/terrorists, and relieved that the strikes were not quite as extensive as was feared.

We have been met with enormous appreciation for choosing to come to listen to the voices of Syrians themselves at this time, to show that we care, and to witness for ourselves the reality on the ground.

We were honoured to be given a tour of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus by the Grand Mufti of Syria, (everyone in the mosque wanted to shake his hand and have pictures with him), and afterwards welcomed by the Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Aphrem and other Christian and Muslim faith leaders from different denominations, who were unanimous that the world should be assisting Syrians to find a peaceful resolution, not prolonging conflict and suffering by bombing and violence.

Meanwhile, we have been met with overwhelming warmth and hospitality by everyone including people on the street, and the assurance that despite the aggressive actions of our governments, they do not regard the British or American people as their enemies. And that they hope we never have to face the kinds of terrorism and violence that Syrians have suffered at the hands of those whom our government are supporting. As the Grand Mufti said: "Whether we are Syrian or British we are all children of God and therefore brothers and sisters. We are from the same earth, of the same blood. We are called to live in love."

A war has at least 2 combatants. This will be no more than an unanswered punitive strike.

However , I will go along with the attacks being considered an act of war. As far as I know, not a single American's life was at risk...as of yet. If syria retaliates and we mix it up with them on an unlimited basis in the air, then I will consider your statement correct. It would be an "air war". right now, it's far short of that. Hopefully it will remain so.

I understand your point. Because this is a set of limited strikes using stand off weapons, it feels like it doesn't even come into the same category of an intervention.

Germany, it is being reported, is still selling stuff to Iran that will be used to replace Syria's chemical weapons.
