Oh sure! Let's invade Syria, for no reason whatsoever (no threat to the West) and then sit back and let millions of 'refugees' flood in to ruin our countries like they have ruined their own. Let them fight to the death. It's none of our business. The more Muslims kill each other the better.

If you want any Ozzies to fight in Syria, for a bunch of hopeless fools, buy all means you go & do it buddy. Take any other like minded ratbags you can find with you.

Syria is not worth a single toenail of any Ozzie, other than ratbags like you.

Trump had almost the right idea. The only problem was not enough missiles, & they were armed with the wrong warhead. A couple of dozen nuclear armed cruise missiles should eliminate any Syrian problem, with no loss of any life of any value.

Yes! What is Prospered by further delay? Our humanitarian reputation in the Middle East? Or our indefatigable resolve?

Oh what freedom Islam has brought Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey Iraq and Iran. Can't help but to feel sorry for the millions caught in the political system of one bad ideology against another. You are not going to change the mind and heart of those who only agree with democracy when their form of Islam is in majority. Thank God that Israel remains a beacon of what can be done in the middle east.

So this guy is Albert Langer - a left over from the radicalism of the 1960s? Is the Arthur Dent name a reference to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?

The article is absurd, of course. Invading Syria would cause many more problems than it would solve. What would we do with it afterwards? Install a democratic government then walk away and watch the whole thing start again? Better to let the war conclude and try to restrain the winners from massacring the losers.

This is the sadist posting I’ve seen in OLO. In his first incarnation some decades ago, Albert Langer was a worthy crusader against injustice and war, now as Arthur Dent and posing as “a left-wing political activist”, he has left the planet.
