This is about Syria, which is the thread subject.

I have been posting for a few years on this forum about the people of Syria and how WE have ignored them.

This morning on Morning Joe, they are showing pictures of the refugees which is simply horrible.

Am I supporting some kind of war at this point in Syria involving the USA ? At this point ....NO

I just do not want to hear or read a post from someone on the left proclaiming how insensitive a conservative is, how wonderful and caring a liberal is, how they feel for and take care of those who are "under privileged".

It is too late......a few years ago, we turned our back on human suffering, while we lamenting a police officers terrible mistake here. We ignored gassing of children in the streets, which we knew about, We SAID, dont you dare cross this line...dont you dare use chemical weapons.

We SAID it, but we didnt mean it. We allowed what is happening in Syria. We could have helped these people.

Oh, you dont want to get involved. Then never say we lead the world in what is right and wrong....never say we really care. We are easy to give money, borrowed most of the time, but that is what we now stand for.

PLEASE do not post on here how wonderful you are in taking care of the disadvantaged. PLEASE do not post on here about how you care about human lives. PLEASE do not call me or any conservative unfeeling.

The world is on fire....people are suffering beyond belief and we pat ourselves on the back. We could have done something at that time (3 years ago) but we chose, and chose is the right word, not to do anything, nothing. By the way, we did destroy the country of Libya at that time.

This post is more about the hypocrisy, and I will say of the left....I know that the left is not the only guilty parties, but speaking to this forum where the conservative movements is considered uncaring, and the liberal movement is the caring group, it is aimed at the liberals.

Do not even imply how your movement is above us all....you do not care at all.

I am not speaking of invasions, I am not speaking of anything but trying anything in the face of horrible massacre. We had words and nothing but words.

And by the way, not just Syria...we did it and continue to do it in Iraq. There is an article in yesterdays POLITICO how we took action ONCE to help a tribe in Iraq and then obviously turned our back on them.

"n 2014, Vian Dakhil's stirring plea for international intervention helped inspire President Barack Obama to order airstrikes and launch a humanitarian effort to rescue thousands of Yazidi Iraqis who were trapped on a mountainside under assault by Islamic State.

A year later, Dakhil, one of two Yazidi members of the Iraqi parliament, says her people have been abandoned by Washington and the international community.

In an emotional, at times tearful, on-stage interview at POLITICO’s “Women Rule” event Wednesday morning in Washington, Dakhil described a full-blown humanitarian crisis — 420,000 Yazidis living in refugee camps in tents with mud floors, women and girls continuing to be kidnapped, 2,200 girls in captivity as sexual slaves, and survivors returning from the horror of ISIL captivity with no resources for psychological support. Thousands of orphans have no homes.
Dakhil, who is credited with saving many Yazidi women and girls from ISIL captivity, said she was not contacted by U.S. officials after the initial announcement. A letter to Michelle Obama received no response, she said."

I liked our country better when we cared a bit.

Frustrated am I ? Yep....for those who want to lecture me and others and call us names and tell us we do not care about human life, etc. STOP IT.

We are that country who can but will not.
