When Terrorism Threatens The World

It is truly hard to see the suffering of those that were harmed during the gas attack in Syria.  The problem is that neither the Assad regime nor the rebels are made of outstanding human rights oriented organizations.  A major player in this war seems to be Al Queda.  However, Assad's regime seems to be composed of people with no respect for humanity as we as American's see it.  Even more distressing is Assad's ties to the government of Iran.  What we do we must do well in order to create a show of strength that protects us against Al Quida which has attacked us in our country.  We must also consider the effects of our actions on Israel.  It is days like this that I wish we still had our battleships.  Granted missile armed destroyers can deliver an incredible barrage.  On the other hand looking at the size and fire power of a battleship has its own intimidation profile.  We have no good choices.  However, this is real we are seeing it.  We have heard this sabre rattling of Syria and Iran in regards to Israel.  Maybe it is time for step one in preparation for step not just Syria we will not stand by while leaders use those weapons outlawed by countries of the civilized world.  If they attack their own people what is stopping them from attacking Israel or the United States.  One type of action is inaction.  What I know is this is a horrible mess.  God Bless The United States and its leaders and military.
