    Nothing To Gain

        Was listening to a piece about the war powers act and the situation in Libya. They said the reasoning as to why we're there is because the people were being killed by their leaders. Well the same thing is happening in Syria. Why are we not helping those people? I suspect there are basically 2 reasons.

    1. Syria is an enemy of Israel. We no doubt don't care if there are a few less Syrians. Lord only knows Israel doesn't.

    2. Syria has no oil.

       It's so damn easy to see through the justification this government gives for sticking its nose in. God Damn lying - exploitative bastards.

       Of course this is just my opinion; but it makes sense to me.
