I'm on the fence as to whether or not it's our responsibility as a nation to police every such bad act around the world...although I do condemn the use of chemical weapons.President Obama is going to plead his case tonight to the American people on national TV, as to why we must attack Syria to show the world that the use of chemical weapons will not be tolerated. Congress is leaning away from granting him that wish, but he states that he really doesn't need it, that he is just being nice enough to ask. Polls stand at 61% of voters do not agree that we need to attack, while only 27% support going to war, which actually is nice for a change. So, my question is this. If Obama goes against the wishes of the American people and ignores Congress, which he claims he can, could he, or should he be impeached? One way or the other, this is going to be very interesting to see what happens.
And although I'm a republican (more libertarian, really), I don't think Obama should be impeached based solely upon his (possible) decision to attack Syria in response to their use of chemical weapons.
Just think about all those kids whose lungs were burned and vaporized while they breathed for life-giving air...their agony...their slow, painful death...not screaming only because they couldn't expel air out of their vaporized lungs...wondering why breathing hurt so much when it had never hurt before.
And also think about the number of our troops who would die and leave widows and fatherless children behind if we intervene.
I'm just glad it's not me who is making this decision.
As much as I wanted Obama voted out of office in 2012, I have some sympathy for him now...he has tough decisions to make...
