Secretary Kerry to speak LIVE on CSpan1 at 2EDT/11PDT...

[Mass]

1. Yep. I was not able to watch, but

from what I read, I do not feel too comfortable.

I do think there is little doubt that chemical weapons were used, but there are two questions remaining:

a/ Who used them? I hope they have more proof that Bush had before stating without doubt it is Syria. It is not as if the other side was unable to do that either. (In addition, I remember the incubators in Kuwait in 1992. False flags exist).

b/ What should the government do? I have no sympathy for Assad which is a despicable person (and has been way before the American media decided he is)? However, after the mess in Egypt and Iraq, is there really something the US or even a coalition can do? What will be the side effects?

So, seeing the government going toward war this way leaves me very uncomfortable.

ADDED: Well, after having read the threads on GD, I feel so tired of people who have exactly ZERO empathy level and think life goes through slogans. "No more war": this is definitively something I can subscribe to, but it is not what those people mean. They mean: let's stay withing our borders and F*ck the rest of the world, because there are wars on the world right now, including in Syria. How do they propose to stop it? It is a difficult situation, but the libertarian wing of the Democratic Party is starting to look way too much like the libertarian wing of the Republican Party; " f*ck the people. It is not about me, so I can stand on my white horse and spew libertarian BS). Or do they have a way to stop all wars.

Sorry, this may not be the right place, but I feel both worried and disappointed by where this seems to be going and by the idiocy of those who should care.
