So, how many countries have asked the US to bomb Syria as punishment?

[reformist2]

I wouldn't be as opposed to this proposed punishment if Obama/Kerry would at least give us a list of the countries that would do the bombings themselves if they had the means.

But proposing unilateral action, or worse, presuming to act on behalf of the world when the world hasn't even weighed in, is unacceptable.

1. Marshall Islands and Guam ?

2. Syria is 1 of 5 countries that has refused to be a signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention.

(Angola, North Korea, Egypt, South Sudan and Syria).

For that reason alone, they (as well as Egypt and the rest) should be forced to step in line. There is a reason the other 189 countries signed.

5. Lnadmines, clusterbombs and DU

The US should be forced to step in line.

6. Agreed. Unfortunately, no one can do that.

7. And which international treaties have we refused to sign?

Starting with Cluster Bombs and going from there.

9. 161 Countries have signed the Mine Ban Treaty, the US is one of 36 to refuse and insist upon using

mines which blow people to bits years after the US has left the warzone and gone home. There is a reason the other 161 have signed it.
Here are the 36 nations with whom we keep company in the use of vicious weaponry banned by all of our peer nations.

3. I would speculate...

That there is behind the scenes lobbying from Saudi Arabia and Israel to bomb Syria. SA because they are funding and arming the AQ rebels, and Israel because the Assad regime is a long time enemy.
The majority of countries probably wouldn't touch Syria with a ten-foot pole. Its a Tarbaby....once involved, you'll have a devil of a time unsticking yourself.
