To the OP .. why should we take Assad out?
This whole thing in Syria is about geo-political oil/gas pipeline issues and religion.
Muslims killing other Muslims because they aren't the 'right' kind of Muslims.
ATS Thread - Syria - It's all about Religion and Oil

To be honest, I don't think many people on ATS care one bit about the man. The issue people have is the fact the U.S. is dragging itself into another war, and it's obvious this isn't going to be short term like Obama says. We have Iran, and Russia verbally and physically showing they're ready to back Syria, the Syria that is ready to defend itself without Russia or Iran. We don't have the money, and these attacks might have very well been done by the rebels or terrorists.
Too many problems here, I'd be more supportive of Turkey and France going along with their "attacks" and "regime change" while we sit back and assist if they couldn't handle themselves. Being at the front of this and acting like enforcers of international laws and agreements we ourselves have broken or have not confronted in the past is ridiculous.
This nation is about to see its demise. Can we get just a few decades to fix ourselves before we try again, just to fail, at fixing the world.

If Obama bombs Syria then you can put Mr. Nobel Peace Prize at the top of your 'criminal' list.

This man is War Criminal...Why should any more people die?
He is killing his own people. He has broken several International Laws.
He should be the sole target. Where the hell is Seal Team 5...Bet they are ready..
We want this man to stop killing his people. So we decide we will protest by killing his people.
We have used drones on American Citizen's. Why would we hesitate blowing this guy away?
He is not worth one more life on either side. Kill or Capture, preferably the first one.
PS. Don't tell me he is a leader of a Country...Remember Saddam and Qaddafi?...

Some of you pretend that no one else will stand to gain from what is happening in Syria (Or are completely ignorant of the fact that they will.) . Regardless of wrong or right, I assure you the CIA, NSA and others...have established that an unstable Syria may be good for Iran (Or other enemies of stable first world countries,). I assure you that it doesn't matter who the POTUS is, he's been briefed on what needs to be done. Taking out Assad is likely in our best interest for good reason. Some Syrians will be happy to seem him go...some good, some not so good.
If flattening Syria means that I can keep enjoying stability, a steady income in a nice neighborhood and annual vacations...then so be it. I support whatever is best for my country and other civilized nations. Its unfortunate that Muslims seem bent on fighting over radical religious beliefs. I oppose the same here in the US. I do not believe Christian extremists should be allowed to legislate religion. I support what is in the best interest of my country.

And who replaces him? The Muslim Brotherhood. Their goal is an Islamic caliphate achieved through bloody means. Assad is bad. The 'rebels' are just as bad, perhaps even worse. I say .. leave 'em be. Let them all kill each other. Why stop it?
