As America gears up to fight in yet another war, many folks - both within and
outside the country must be wondering why the US needs to get involved in
Syrian conflict. Some of you are quite right in saying, why do we have to care
if those idiots in Syria want to kill themselves?
Then there are others who might say, the US is the only country in the world
that has the balls to set the tone in world affairs. These folks would argue,
if the US does not intervene, things could get quite ugly for those humans who
happen to be in not-so-stable parts of the world.
I am neutral in this latest consideration - because I do not have enough
information to side one way or another. { Out of the last 3 wars - I agreed
with two (Kuwait & Afghan) and disagreed with one (Iraq) }
But one thing is pretty clear - more people are going to loose lives in Syria
regardless of whether America enters the war or not. Wars are always ugly and
they affect different people differently, including the children left behind by
the war's fallen.
