To Obama..."This is not a world we should accept"

Hah! That was the headline in the newspaper today. Syria is absolutely no threat to the US. Leave them to their own devices and look inward for a change. This is not a United States we should accept! There are millions of people with little or no income. There are millions with insufficient food, health care and housing. Look at home Mr. Obama! Instead of wasting time and effort (and lives and money) in Syria, what say you mount a campaign to level the playing field at home? Make a real effort to balance the tax burdens between the rich and poor. Do something (ANYTHING !) right for your own people and stay the hell out of the Middle East! Besides, there are many other areas of the world where horrendous atrocities are occurring every day. Why focus on Syria? Are you (Obama) so deep in the pockets of Israel and corporate America that you can't function rationally? I am so ashamed and disappointed!We don't want another war! We want jobs, decent health care and a fair piece of the American Pie. We want the rich to pay their share of taxes. We want our government (You, Mr. Obama) to work for us for a change. You (Obama) will not be in the next Presidential election. You (Obama) don't have to bow to outside influences. Do the right thing for your own citizens.

Bomb Syria? NO!

Okay, now there's a story in the news that American diplomats are being evacuated from Lebanon. Why would that be? Because they would be in danger if we attack Syria. There would be no (almost) chance for Syria to ward off the United States. There would be high-flying bombers and/or drones coming at them. They would be basically invisible to Syria. What would they do? Go after real US targets nearby. Like Lebanon. Why stop there? Why not just hurl some weapons at Israel too?

This Syria thing is an incredibly foolish fiasco for the US. Americans don't want it. Obama and Congress are way off base.

Here's something else. What if Syria just decides to commit suicide in the face of an overwhelming force coming their way? What if they just destroy their own nuclear facilities and make sure everyone loses? Supposedly, they've already been killing off their own citizens. They could easily launch attacks in Lebanon and Israel while also contaminating the whole area with radiation from their own nuclear plants.

STAY OUT OF SYRIA!

Let them fight their own battles. Let their own neighbors step in. They all hate us anyway and they'll hate us even more if we get involved.
