Hopefully Congress will have a backbone and say "not no, but hell no..."

With the severe budget cuts to our military, and then POTUS has the "nerve" to recommend this?

And why is it that innocents dying via chemical weapons worse than slowly bleeding out or losing limbs, etc., from traditional warfare, which happens every day in various locations around the world? We really have to step in? What about the people of NK slowly starving to death because of their leader's actions?

If I haven't said this before, like a parent, sometimes you have to let your kids work out their own problems. You can't and shouldn't step in every time. I wish our gov't would take this approach more often.

I cannot wait until 2016.
