Yeah. That's exactly right.
I don't want Syrian kids to be gassed or bombed. I want Syrian kids to stay in Syria and for their leaders to make their countries safer and stronger so they can prosper there. I don't believe in globalism. Each country, each culture has its own role to play. But when you have a world leader who is terrorizing his own people I do think the moral obligation of being a Christian nation dictates that we have to do something.
I know you don't remember anything about history, but we should have already learned the hard lessons of coddling despots, the failures of appeasement, the worthlessness of threats without action. Obama clearly didn't pay attention and set us back centuries because he didn't have the courage or character to make the hard choices. Sometimes peace comes through strength. You have to occasionally -- and in the right situation -- be willing to exercise that strength. I'm happy and proud we have a president who understands that.
You mean the history lesson about America refusing European Jewish refugees back in the late 30s-early 40s. The situation now is somewhat similar...war torn Country, refugees, America refusing them claiming that they might be "working for the enemy" or "might be terrorists".
But, the war torn part is a bit different, here you have a Civil War between US, Turkey, & Israel backed Syrian Rebels against the Syrian, Russian, & Iranian military.
