How many lives will the empty threat of Obama's "Red Line" in Syria, (which Putin obviously views as a yellow streak down Obama's back) cost?
Perhaps since they are not Americans, it doesn't matter to you.

Actually, it exceeds 100,000 right now, and when you think of those children who died by gassing, it sort of gets to you.
I have to come to terms I suppose with two things....
First, as you point out, our country does not care about anyone dying except americans, and each year that goes by we find that the only deaths that matter are those of political importance, whether by color of skin or mode of death.
And secondly, no matter what happens over any period of time in the middle east (and MUCH will happen there) it will be forever the fault of George Bush.
Those two things are now the mantra.
I think since I know number 2 is simply political, what bothers me is the first one in that we now have placed our internal politics out front of caring about human lives anywhere but in this country and then only under certain conditions.
