Do we really have to take military action to Syria?

No wonder Abuzz went down the pan.


Funny!

Actually, Abuzz went down the drain (not pan) because of some malicious posters whose intent was to destroy Abuzz. Abuzz, during its glory days, was one of the finest forums on the Internet.

Try growing up, Spendius.

Damn, Walter, I was wondering if anyone would catch that.

Thanks. (I've only been there once this year. The place is so busy you can seldom get on. Limited occupancy.)

Go back to explaining why blonde jokes make no sense, Spendius. I am assuming you have a PhD in Making No Sense.

MYOEP. Practice makes perfect.

And I didn't say that blonde jokes make no sense. That one didn't. It was a misogynist's joke about the intelligence of ladies and blondes were used to let them take the heat off the vast majority so vonny wouldn't get booed.

Behind their backs too because blondes haven't time to be on here.

Do misogynists have more fun? Only their bartenders know for sure.

Lighten up, Spendius. You are beginning to look like a...well, you know!

@Frank Apisa,
I missed abuzz good days, apparently. I was totally new to the internet, and the nyt internet thingy (abuzz) was the first place I ever clicked on. Despite it being in decline, and then my losing access (something about cookies), it opened a world for me.

Back to Syria. I see the pros and cons of action, have swung between them, but I think a strike by us would be a phenomenon meant as a symbol. Given that we are long time dirty for some matters, it comes down to power talking. Here: slap.

Sort of a photoshoot for publicity.

I know there are two million refuges.
They will work out their own takes on all this.
It is their immediate business.

No matter what moves are made on the Syrian problem, Ossobuco, you can just about count on a lot of unintended consequences.

Most of the politicians would rather someone else be making the decisions on which of the crummy options ought to be taken...so that when the **** hits the fan, they can say they were not on the side that advocated that particular action.

The area is a mess...and no matter who wins this civil war, we are going to have enemies in Syria.

It is a lose/lose situation for us...and that includes us just sitting things out.

@Frank Apisa,
I know sitting things out is problematic, and also unlikely that we'll just, uh, rest.

All this affects millions.

And who are we?

@Frank Apisa,
Stop trying to pretend you are all lightened up and all.

You mean it very,very, very seriously despite you having not one shred of evidence that it is an appropriate response to your provenance and subsequent dispositions such as when you are addressing the little white ball sitting on a tee or plugged in an unraked bunker.

Do you wiggle your buttocks or twitch your elbows?

Were your "letters to the editor" in jest, as mine always were, or did you really mean every silly, thrumming word. Post us a copy of one of the shorter ones and I'll tell you what the editor actually thought of it.

When Mrs Thatcher "privatised" the utilities I bought a tranche of shares in a water company. I had read Nehru on the subject.

As soon as I got my share certificate I wrote to the boss of the new company in which I had invested to ask him whether I should leave all my taps, faucets and hosepipes running all day and all night long.

Virtually every move we have made in that part of the world has been a disaster. What makes people think this one's the charm?
