The response is not appropriate if it only seeks an amorphous, extrajudicial "punishment"--rather than to _protect_ human life. #Syria

These two goals are not the same, and they work in opposition.
#Syria -
If you applaud Trump display of testosterone, you undermine protection strategies such as providing humanitarian and refugee corridors...
-
And if you only address genocide where there is a national interest, and forget other emergencies like Sudan, you undermine all noble cause.
-
Because if you only act where there is a national interest, you give an OK for genocide in often poorer countries--please see South Sudan...
-
Pls decide if you want to applaud, and thereby participate in, flag-waving, militaristic posture, or to protect human life against genocide.

Disappointed that this is your response. How about urging for humanitarian aid and a lift to the ban on Syrian refugees?
-
Military action without humanitarian aid to help the innocent Syrian people is not right.
