"If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
A short article on what America's intervention in Syrian at this late stage in the "game" actually says about us as a nation. It questions the moral rationale that has "justified" our inaction up to this point while 125,000 Syrians (largely civilian non-combatants) have been killed and contrasts it with the outrage that has been expressed as of late over the use of chemical weapons on relatively small portion of that same population.
-seem rather arbitrary to anyone else?
Also questioned is the effectiveness of any actions taken in behalf of a larger "Responsibility to Protect" where involvement is promised to be limited.
As a strict Libertarian, I've always found military actions taken outside of a immediately defensive nature to be completely counter-productive.
