Hey guys, let's all go build another nation

If there's a marching club dedicated to chanting anti-Assad slogans, sign me up. He's a brutal tyrant who murders his subjects, and someone should shoot back. That someone ought to be a Syrian.

The new U.S.."sanctions" against Syria won't work very well.  When have they ever, anywhere?

So we can assume Hillary's mouthing of Obama's latest contribution to Mid-East warfare this morning are warnings that we're gassing up a Seal team, a squadron of Cobra's,  and an MEU or two.  The  background message is: "Leave or die, President Assad, because you shoot down your own people."

If nothing else,  this fails the  fairness test. After all, I don't recall the ruling Assad family demanding the resignation of American presidents for shooting down their subjects. (cf. Bush I/Ruby Ridge and Clinton/Waco).

No, no moral equivalence is suggested, but it's an interesting thing to keep in mind as the U.S. foreign policy apparatus ratchets up the possibility that we'll find ourselves bombing wogs in still another sandy country.

Or:

Oceania has always been at war with Mideastasia.
