Your Vote ATS'ers: Attack or Not To Attack Syria for Alleged Chemical Attacks on its Own Citizens?

Ok so the function of governance is to insure that people are treated properly. For the record all sides have confirmed in FACT that chemical weapons were used in Syria.

So instead of all sides working together to ascertain the details on the ground? Politically both sides are insisting that the other is to blame.

In context human beings were exposed to chemical weapons and however it happened the conflict needs to end. The reasoning for this is simple, chemical weapons use is a game changer in conflict.

I say yes, there is no real reason to trust the Russians. And in so far as Iran and Syria, their armies as about as impressive as Iraq's under Saddam Hussein (the word impotent comes to mind).

All wars are recourse wars but in this case chemical weapons were used. The question needed to e answered is why. Implied by the press is that no one is certain so essentially there is one way to find out

Any thoughts?

NO, That was simple

Thanks ALL for participating. I'll keep on tracking your input!!

As I mentioned earlier, a lot of news to be shared over the next two days will continue to make this thread relevant. So it will be very interesting to see if any of these upcoming News/Talk Shows on Monday (At Least 6) and the Address to the Nation on Tuesday will influence the overwhelming sentiment of "NO" The U.S. should NOT attack Syria.

The interview, Assad's first with an American television network in nearly two years, is scheduled to air on "The Charlie Rose Show" on PBS Monday — the same day President Barack Obama is scheduled to sit down with six different television networks, including PBS, to make his case to for a U.S. strike against Syria.

Obama to address nation Tuesday on Syria

Thank you!!

This idea that Russia and the US should be at odds with each other is stupid. All it does is interfere with both countries ability to address their own internal problems.

No.

Second line.

reply to post by ItDepends


just like last time..

no.

No

Second NO

The question is, are the no's because: Obama is in office, Everyone here is a peacenik, or they think the rebels did it because of..whatever.


I would say the same thing I said about Iraq for the same reason
No
And for the same reason...it is not threatening our national security, nor have they attacked us or our allies. It therefore makes no sense.

And like Iraq, I imagine my desires will be completely ignored.

No.We can't afford anymore imperial adventures despite what the fools in DC think.I'm sure The Figurehead will try to appeal to "our god given mission to spread democracy."That many people in this country like to believe we do when we go on an police action.

No!

NO!

Let your voices be heard by not listening to more lies:
• Turn off the TV
• Turn off the Internet
• Turn off your phone
• Spend time with family
• Thank a solider
• Meet your neighbors
• Spend one hour in making your world a better place!

Imagine waking up Wednesday, September 11, with news stories blazing about a virtual electronic blackout the night before. Imagine the release of rating data showing a virtual Tuesday night blackout of all things Obama. I would hope he would get the message that the American people don't have his back as were turn ours to him.

No

Lies, lies, lies are all I'm hearing... or, at best, contradiction after contradiction.

Absolutely not. Even if there was proof of who did it, these kinds of things have been happening in the middle east for a long time. There is obvious proof that American intervention will not help.
