Why We Fight !!!

Many are wondering why we would consider going to war in Syria. 
Ok, it won't be a declared war, so let's take it down a notch. 
Many are wondering why we would do a limited police action in Syria. 
Ok, it won't be a limited police action.  There will be no "boots on the ground", so let's take it down a notch. 
Many are wondering why we would spend money and risk aviators by bombing Assad's people in Syria. 
Ok, we don't have a freakin' clue who we'll be bombing.  We're America, dammit, and we won't stand idly by while Assad's people execute their POW's. 

Oh.  Wait a minute.  The rebels are executing the POW's.

Well....we've spent a lot of money re-stocking our war arsenal, and there's no money in just letting the stuff sit there.  Economies are based on consumption. 

I once believed that we should get involved in Iraq because Saddam gassed 90,000 Kurds. 
I was wrong. 
Perhaps there should be some sort of humanitarian intervention, but it shouldn't come from us. 
We just aren't very good at it.
