With all this Trump crap, were is the outrage about this modern day Holocaust? The government is saying Assad is killing/burning the bodies of as many as 50 people per day.

Assad is a modern day Hitler so where is the outrage???

Nobody cares because the people on the other side of the fight against Assad is ISIS.

At least someone somewhere is actually doing something to keep refugees out of America.

Misrepresentation of the facts. Also, the only reason ISIS hasn't murdered ten times that number (and I mean literally murdered) is capability.

Sunni Muslims are extremely dangerous when put in power, anything should be done to avoid that scenario.

Other than the Kurds (who are fighting for a small sliver) there is no one to back.

Assad is Assad, ISIS is ISIS, and the FSA has been more or less taken over by Al Qaeda and Al Nusra.

You really have no side worth picking that is vying for control of the country.

It's just like with Iraq, Saddam was killing tens of thousands, but he ended up being the least bad option and we never should've removed him. Removing Assad would be like removing Saddam, but on steroids as Lebanon would fall right after.

Well, I guess Jordan has been behaving. (To an extent, so to speak.)

Jordan's monarchy is one of the few reasonable governments in the region. They have been that for the past 3 generations.

They have managed to avoid becoming a haven for terrorist groups through the entire process as well.

What is the United States supposed to do? Invade Syria? Establish democracy there and fight off ISIS until they can stand on their own? It would be damn near impossible to do with without broad international support or a draft.

That's not solving the root of the problem. It would help with some people, but hardly fix Syria.

Exactly. We can't fix it. All we can do is help some people.

Be sure to stop by your local ABT store this summer to check out our fine selection of home kitchen appliances, including our new in-house line of Assad's Ovens.

I guess it really is a Do Something About Assad / Stop Doing Something About Assad thing. Americans are funny that way now. Save the world and stop all atrocities but if you can't be done in a month's worth of TV fireworks shows forget it.

You might have read there's a lotta bad stuff in the world today,
It's been said it's getting rough to find a place where the children play,
So, Mr Prime Minister and Mr President you better see that it's
not only me, no, our mob is rising in size,
and they've been dying to scream out to you!
You gotta do something,
We gotta do something,
Sometimes I sit in my room and I don't know what to do,
but we've gotta do something!

We should have learned our lesson about overthrowing regional strongmen by now.
