Seriously Syria & More

EDITED after publishing - 7x

Oh no! Here we may Go Again into the dastardly bowels of another war! (Read THIS)

No "boots on the ground" again, per Prez Obama's Saturday Morning Video Natterings, just the possibility of what to do now that "sources" say that Chemical Weapons have been used on Syria's People throughout their escalating Dis-Civilized War. And, by no "boots on the ground" we know what THAT means: Drone-based bombings, with a chance of Other Kinds Of Weapons coming from nearby US Naval Ships.

How reassuring! More fire in the sky! More chaos on the ground! More reasons to hate the U.S. More reasons for the USA to finally scream "Enough!" Enough of everything it takes away from our own country's needs to not only fund another war (should today's meeting between Obama and his Security-Type "Experts" with charts and laptops filled with numbers and "Intel" about what's supposedly really going on Over There that could warrant U.S. Intervention), but to have yet another Big Distraction for our Prez and Lame Government in general while Rome Burns Over Here.

But hey, that's okay, right? Our Congress hasn't shown much Passion (Dem's) or Compassion (Repub's) for Actually Fixing Things that require Immediate Action (such as severely deteriorating Infrastructure Issues; the increasingly financial and Human Cost of our Growing Way Out Of Control climate problems which, in turn, further affects the increasing Lack Of Quality Of Life for millions when their homes burn down, or float away in a flood…or are tossed into the air like little toys during tornadoes). We, as a country, need the money spent on wars for the current and Inevitable Natural Disasters to come. That's where our money "should" go.

However, we're in a delicate dance with The Middle East and have been for quite some time. We're either the glue which holds warring nations together as often as possible from killing each other more than they already do, or else we're seen as a Polarizing, Interfering War Monger to others. The U.S. has indeed backed itself into a Global Corner over the decades.

We have strategic alliances with numerous countries and their leaders to "protect" them if they allow us to place our Military Bases on their land…and so on. It's as if the USA began to flirt with several countries to ensure National Security, Oil, Loyalty If Under Attack, and everyone accepted the advances toward Friendly Relations simultaneously – with a caveat of the The Deal to become more than just a Friend for at least one night. What to do? How many different countries and hotel rooms can one dash to in one day and not become embroiled in Too Many Messes Of Loyalty?

But I almost digress. Point is – I don't like how the U.S. can always find the money for war, but nothing else of True American-Human Value.

I don't want chemicals in the air. A war using chemical weapons is to be taken seriously. Toxic particles float around, eventually reaching everyone's lungs. AND, I don't like seeing the dead bodies of Little Children lined-up in a street, either. But, if not Paying Attention Here In The US of A, those images could soon be of our own.

We have enough of our own Terrorists and Koch Self-Appointed Dictators in The House spewing their version of Toxic Hate-Based Particles into the air whenever they open their smarmy, smirky, jowly mouths (whose phone numbers are on Speed Dial from David Koch). Finding ways to stop the rule of our government, thus Country and Women's Bodies and Voter's Rights, by a few Not-So-Good Men is one of the first wars we need to spend our money on right now...in a non-violent way, of course.

Unlike what Radical GOPer's believe, Obama Isn't Fiddling while the U.S. burns. What he's trying to do is juggle a World Gone Crazy. If he has a fiddle, you can bet he's already ripped out the strings.

On that simple note, I bid you a Lovely Whatever!
