I understand the reservations with another intervention, but what’s going on in Syria right now is absolutely sickening. Lots of non-interventionists claim that UN actions in Libya established costly and irreversible precedent and that the real reason why western leaders were so gung ho about Libya had to do more with the ‘responsibility to protect’ oil reserves than it did human lives.
If you’re going to intervene, do it for the right reasons and be consistent. But who am I kidding; we’ll never get that right. In the meantime, the Assad regime continues to kill civilians, many of them children.
