Yeah, compared to the US they were oppressed. But not if you compare Syria to a lot of countries in Africa or the rest of the Middle East. Nothing's perfect but those are their countries.
They should Not try to fix Detroit. And we should Not try to fix Syria. It's like making a patch for a game when you don't even know how it was coded. Just look at Iraq. Total Fail.

If you're a rebel fighting for a better way for your country, fighting against the oppressive system, why in the world would you turn into a cannibal or attack civilians??? That doesn't even make sense.
And by the way, I'm no big fan of Obama either.
Sorry. I was trying to add stuff to mom's shopping list and I totally did miss that. Yeah, #3 was what I was talking about. They are .
But that makes it even more difficult to help anyone cause now nobody knows which are the Syrian people and which are the terrorists. So if we did the strikes then who will be in power? That's easy. The other thugs - the terrorists. no win/no win.

About Obama: Congress already cautioned him that he could be "Aiding The Enemy" (terrorists) with his actions. That would be a serious offense against his own country and an extreme dishonor.
Some people claim that he wasn't even an American when he was elected. But that's still not important. When someone lives in a country, they should never do anything that threatens that country. That's the worst dishonor there is.
People can complain and even fight to change their country. But if they think they need to threaten it, then it's time for them to find another country to believe in - That's the honorable thing.
But "Aiding The Enemy" is an epic red line that I hope Obama doesn't try to cross. And, imo, the "collateral damage" thing doesn't count if it aids the enemy.

Tbh, I agree with his healthcare plans but that's all. So yeah, I'm not a huge Obama fan, lol. And he's weak. Very weak. Not because he won't stand up and risk helping the terrorists in Syria. No, he's just weak and he never stands up for anything he says he believes in. Well, at least he did stand up for the healthcare thing so that's cool. Doesn't help us since we already had healthcare plans but it will help people who can't afford it.
