...a question or two about this Syria thing...

Please do correct me if I’m wrong:

I have a question or two about this Syria thing. "Poison gas"?--all I've seen are a bunch of dead people who may or may not have been shot. "Poison gas"--what I've seen is a bunch of folks getting their eyes washed out from TEAR GAS--a "poison gas" which we use as routinely as mouthwash in this country for any sort of insurrection or hostage situation.

Also, I have read that the so-called "rebels" are the Muslim Brotherhood up in arms because somebody somewhere is trying to keep them under control. Which we will, no doubt, be attempting to do in this country before long—if we give Islam the toe-hold that liberal whiners and vested interests are demanding.

I don’t particularly want to live under Sharia law, or under the control of a bunch of nasty old men who, for the most part, sit on their asses and a) preach Women as The Evil in their perfect garden of Patriarchy, and b) won’t be happy until they set civilization back to two sticks and a donkey—(maybe because an ignorant and “devout” population is easy to control?). And (BIG C) seem to be perfectly adept at playing on the sympathies of our heart-throbbing and misguided folks and thus succeed in swaying public sympathy without the least concern for what has happened and is happening in any country that has opened their borders to Islam.

As I hear it, Islam, at this point, is the largest and fastest growing religion in the world. Why do they need our help? Why don’t their own people help them out—I mean—there’s all that oil money in the Middle East Muslim countries—why are we spending OUR blood and badly needed treasure on folks who support--either actively or apathetically--running backwards toward ignorance and superstition while unimaginable amounts of oil money waits for these (so-called) old men when we finish killing off our YOUNG MEN (and women) in a fight that no one can win except whatever old man comes out alive when the last bomb is dropped.

 Are you fucking kidding me?

There ain’t enough guilt in the world to make me cry for Syria or Syrians. It’s THEIR war. Let THEM fight it. We can pick up the pieces as well as or better than some Sharia dude with beard and an ax to grind against Western Civilization. As far as I can tell, the only way to win this on-going-for-untold-centuries-holy-war is to stay the hell out of it unless they shoot nukes at US.

And then, well—turn the desert to glass.

What’s a little more radiation after Chernobyl and Fukushima?

 Of course, I could be wrong…it could be that good ol’ vast MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX pumping the lobbying cash to Congress while worrying where its next trillions are gonna come from now that we are (so-called) “getting out of" Afghanistan/Iraq/Trashcanistan.

Whatever…

And for further consideration: the fact that we've got such idiots representing us in Congress and Washington, D.C. now is because we killed off all the good guys in Viet Nam—or turned them crazy. At this point, we’re working to destroy a generation yet to be born.

And doing a pretty good job of it…
