Absolute belief in the American military's right to do as they please is one of the great blights on this world.

24+ years in America’s military would hardly be blind nationalism. So your stance is that the U.S. should go back to isolationism? Countries, regardless if party to chemical weapons bans should be free to carry out gas attacks against their own people and against international norms? Can’t imagine what a stand up country and populace that would be. If we butt out, maybe Syria wil cease to exist in another 7 years. Generational purge complete and problem solved huh?

Yes, we should go to isolationism. I'm not so sure there was a chemical weapons attack or if it was just false propaganda in order to justify a military strike and divert from issues at home. Even if it did happen, that is for them to deal with. You don't like how things are being done in your country? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work to force change in that country. Don't expect anyone to come in an save you. After all, isn't that the conservative way of thinking when it comes to social issues here at home? Am I missing something? What's the difference, whether it be domestic issues or foreign policy? Wouldn't the idea be the same for everyone? If we stay out of it and Syria ceases to exist, so be it. They did it to themselves. It wouldn't be our fault.
