The big problem that I have with all of this is pretty simple: If we do go in just "lobbing missiles" Who are we helping? What does it to to "stop" the war? What does it do to save the innocent? What does it do with our international relations in other parts of the world?
To me, a strike in Syria feels like an old man yelling at kids playing in the street to stop. It doesn't do anything. It doesn't save anyone. It doesn't stop what's going to happen, but DAMMIT! We'll feel better that we said something, right?
