Syria

I keep promising myself that I will stop watching the news.  I will just live in my own little world.  Well, that ain't gonna happen.  I have been kinda following the mess in Syria.  With the world basically against Assad and Obama drawing a line in the sand about chemical weapons, Assad supposedly goes and uses mustard gas.  Really?  He does not want the United States involved to begin with and he is going to go and do the very thing that will involve us.  Am I the only one seeing the irony and disbelief in this?  And am I the only one to notice that all this turmoil in these countries started just about the time we were pulling out of Iraq?  Am I the only one to see the hand of the Saudis in this mess?  Look at it realistically.  Assad needs the rest of the world on his side.  Assad needs the rest of the Middle East on his side.  So what does he do?  He hits the rebels with chemical weapons.  Does not add up.  And who stands to gain if the United States does get involved in this sewer?  The Saudis.  They have had us doing their dirty work for years.  They are the real reason Bush invaded Iraq.  They wanted Sadaam gone and they used our troops to acomplish their purpose.  Who is in charge now?  Noone.  And where are all the insurgents coming from?  Saudi Arabia.  They are destabilizing the entire Middle East with our help.  They are set to be the big dog in the Middle East and we are right there at their feet taking orders.  We don't know who the rebels are in Syria.  We don't know who is funding them.  We don't know where they are getting their weapons.  What we do know is that they have unlimited weapons, apparently unlimited funding and are willing to kill Syrians to get what they want.  Who stands to gain here?  And the Administration is saying "Let's bomb Syria.  Someone used chemical weapons.  We don't know who, but just for the heck of it let's bomb the Syrian government.  I have proof they did it.  I'm not going to show you the proof.  Just take my word for it."  The last time the country was that stupid we wound up 10 years in Iraq with 5000 dead and untold lives destroyed on both sides and there is no stability in Iraq.  People are still being killed and the country is in turmoil.  Maybe it is better the devil you know than the one you don't.  The Saudi's handprint is all over all this mess.  Where did the hijackers on 9-11 come from? Saudi. Where did the first bomber of the World Trade Center come from?  Saudi.  Where are the members of al Queda from?  Saudi.  Who is funding these terrorists? Saui.  So why are we letting them use us?  First find out where the chemical weapons came from.  Second, find out who used them.  They can be traced.  Until Washington can show me that a) the Syrian government was responsible b)my country has something to gain from getting involved and c)that the rebels really are ordinary Syrians wanting rid of their dictator then no, I don't want involvement of any kind. For once we need to really look behind the curtain before we jump.
