The Liberal Position on Syria

The US should not get involved. If you think Liberals believe otherwise, you're obviously not talking to actual Liberals.

RWNJs will also say "...but Obama..." when obviously they have no real argument, because looking at President Obama's record, he's clearly no Liberal. These RWNJs are mindless drones, incapable of thought. They're told to oppose President Obama and that is what they do. They can't coherently express why they're opposed, arguments never have anything to do with facts. It is always Obama this or that offering not the least substantive rationale for their opposition.

My position is quite similar: I believe the US should not get involved unless our nation is proposing all parties immediately and permanently lay down arms. I find it sad that this isn't even a discussion.

People are quick to say "it won't work", "that's stupid" or "you're disillusion", whatever you get the point, always responding with a non-sequitur. Never will they discuss the merit of the argument, nor will they acknowledge there would be no fighting without arms. Additionally, by not arguing everyone should lay down arms, provides for, what I consider, a legitimate argument they're complicit due to lack of calling for peace.

Pope Francis on the Syrian Civil War

I commend Pope Francis, for speaking out on the Syrian Civil War. A couple of his notable quotes on Sunday: 

• “May the cry for peace enter the hearts of everyone so that they may all lay down their weapons,”;
• “My heart is profoundly wounded in these days by what is happening in Syria and I am anxious about the prospect of dramatic developments,”;
•  “I condemn with particular force the use of chemical weapons. I still have in my mind and heart the terrible images of the past days,”;
• “Weapons and violence do not lead to peace, war leads to more war,”

Gun Nuts pay particular attention to that last one.

Wouldn't it be nice if could elaborate by also condemning weapons manufacturers and various other war profiteers as well?

I hope he will continue speaking regularly on the Syrian Civil War and all other ongoing armed conflicts taking place around the world, which also need to end.
