Who needs diplomacy, or international law? Not former presidential candidate (R-AZ) John McCain, who became the first senator to publicly call for a US-led military strike on Syria in order to halt the nearly year-long conflict there.
Taking the Senate floor, McCain said there will be no UN mandate for the air strikes he deems the only way to stop the violence – but that a mandate isn’t necessary.
"The real question for U.S. policy is whether we will participate in this next phase of the conflict in Syria, and thereby increase our ability to shape an outcome that is beneficial to the Syrian people, and to us."

Really? So forget international law lets just do whatever we want, I mean come on were America we do what we want. The only way we should be allowed to intervene in other conflicts is if the general population votes for it. How many conflicts are we currently involved in, I mean come on we have problems at home shouldn't we be focusing on those first?

Let them rebel on their own if their stuck under a corrupt gov't, isn't that what we had to do.
If somebody wants to get involved whys it have to be us?
We stick our nose in everything, even when we don't have the funds for it.
Doing that will come back to bite us in the rear.
We could end up bogging ourselfs down for another 15 years, do we really need that right now.
