With Syria appearing to accept Russia's proposal to hand over its chemical weapons, it will most likely prevent any U.S. strike on the country. In my mind, this is a very good thing. Achieving what we want through diplomatic means and not military force will save us money, lives, and drastically decrease potential terrorist backlash from Syrian extremists. However, not everyone feels this way.
Many bobblehead dolls over at Fox News and even some war-hungry politicians (::ahem, Senator McCain::), without the need for Viagra, seemed to get hard at the thought of war, and are beginning to go limp in light of these proposed peace talks. According to them, if President Obama doesn't follow through with air strikes on Syria, then not only will all of them go limp, so too will the Washington Monument and the rest of America!
Yes, because even though using military force on Syria would increase the chance for another war, more money spent, more lives lost, and falling victim to another terrorist attack, it's better to leave one more vulnerable to those risks than to look like a pussy by not bombing somebody. With that kind of logic, the following scenarios would also make sense:
Scenario: Major drug deal near a public park
President Obama: "Alright, there's a heavy-duty drug deal that's supposedly going to go down near a public park today. The dealers think we won't do much since kids will likely be in the area at the time. I heard Senator McCain suggest we just start firing machine guns in the area. While I can understand wanting to get these drug dealers once and for all, if we do that, we'll be endangering the lives of kids and their parents as well. I just don't know about that."
Senator McCain: "Come on, don't be a pussy!"
Scenario: Gang fight near a nursery
President Obama: "Word has it that a pair of gangs are going to battle for the corner by a nursery in the area. Senator McCain just told me he thinks we should send some of our strongest men out there to punch everyone that moves. I guess my only question is, what if we punch the wrong people, and women and children are hit?"
Senator McCain: "Come on, don't be a pussy!"
Scenario: Man steals a car
President Obama: "So, I guess a guy stole a car in the area. I think we should go about this thing quietly and catch him fairly soon, but Senator McCain had another idea. He suggested we get into a high-speed chase with the guy. Kids were just let out of school, though. Wouldn't this chase endanger these kids in school buses and other people as well? Would the chase really be worth it?"
McCain: "Come on, don't be a pussy!"
