No, it isn't our job to go in, but personally, if I were on a street watching innocents being slaughtered, I'd probably not think about whose job it was to stop it.
My guess is we will strike within 36 hours after getting the inspection team out.

ps I opposed Iraq from before it started as meddling based on no clear evidence...
Ok...while your emotions may be shared by many......

Strike to do exactly what ??????

Strike where ? Military, where ?

Are you suggesting to take down the regime ? I doubt that. So, again....what is the goal of your "strike"

Would not the "powder keg" become worse ? See Israel, Iran, Russia response PLUS would it not help the Al Queda forces fighting Syria ?
