I have to say, as a pretty damn adamant pacifist, I’m very conflicted with the Syria situation. No, I don’t want another war, but I also recognize that this country has been waging some kind of military exercise on another country non-stop since 1991 (Gulf War 1, 12 years of no-fly zones with at least one bombing sortie on Iraq every week during that period, Afghanistan, Bush’s war of choice in Iraq, Libya…and before that - Somalia, Grenada, Nicaragua, Viet Nam, Korea, WW2…find a 10 year span without a military conflict in the last century). It’s part of who we are as a country.
