So I was wondering, is anyone here for the attack on Syria? I want to find at least one person that can find a positive reason for this attack.

Seems like this is just asking for a flame war. However one reason is the leader is a dictator who tried to commit genocide...

No I don't want a flame war. I've asked around at school and haven't found anyone in favor of the attack. I'm curious to see what those in favor of it are thinking

The primary reason for the outside interference is the use of Chemical Weapons (specifically sarin gas) by the military against its own people. To many of those entrusted with power, they feel an obligation to intervene and lend aid to those who are being oppressed by a government willing to go so far as to use those kinds of weapons at all, much less on their own countrymen. Also, lending aide to the rebels there would lessen some tensions between our nation and the Radical Islamists who demonize our nation as the cause of so many issues. Under normal circumstances, those being we're not already engaged in multiple world-wide conflicts, we'd have already deployed massive resources to overthrowing a power that's never exactly been a good friend. Really, the only thing keeping us out is that no one is certain the gas was used in the way described.

We know several rebels were hit with the gas, but what we can't confirm is who it belonged to. It is potentially possible (and increasingly likely) the gas actually belonged to the rebels and was dispersed when containment was damaged during a conflict. It's also been alleged that they may have just gassed themselves in order to force us to intervene; sacrifice a few men to get US air support is a fair trade.

The simple truth is that there aren't enough facts for anyone to be on either side of the debate and maintain full credibility.

Finally someone with a response. I didn't see much of obamas speech, bust wasn't most of what he said, saying that he wanted to do it to teach them a lesson?
