REP. ALAN GRAYSON: Well, let’s talk about what our responsibilities are not. Our responsibilities are not to ignore the United Nations. Our responsibilities are not to ignore NATO or the Arab League. Our responsibility is not to ignore the international court of The Hague. Our responsibility is not to make vague remarks about red lines and to follow them up with equally vague remarks about violating international norms, which is a cover for saying that they have—that the Syrians have not violated international laws.

I’m very disturbed by this general idea, this notion, that every time we see something bad in the world, we should bomb it. And, in fact, the president himself has criticized that mindset, and now he’s adopted it. It’s simply not our responsibility to act alone and punish this. I’ll give you an example. There is substantial evidence right now, which the Russians have chosen to actually present to the United Nations, unlike the United States at this point, of the rebels using poison gas. Are we going to bomb both sides?

I am a U.S. born citizen of the world to Parents of Mexican nationality. I am against the U.S. fascist government going to war with Syria. When Iraq intervention happened, the same thing went down, government bluffed the public and they went to war. All this "WE" shit is not all of our voices. The majority of our country doesn't even know its happening cause of Hollywood entertainment and the ADD induced marketing/advertisement industry. When the intervention in Afghanistan happened it was exactly the same. Pure bluffing. And that was George W. Bush. We need health Insurance, better sustainable infrastructure, more self-sustainable resources, we need jobs that keep local communities alive. We need to redistribute resources in this giant land mass to regions. Give back to the native people of this land and respect the earth. Why is the US govt going to get involved in Syria?? CAPITALISM, and Profiteerism. War makes money for the weapon manufacturer.
