(37,364 posts)when talking about "it's not our concern" I had been wavering on whether or not to sign his petition because I truly respond to the utter coldness of his way of framing the deaths of the Syrian people. It is wrong to insist that people don't care about their fellow human beings. I will not be signing his petition for this reason. I think that war is not necessarily the answer and that there is much yet that is going on behind the scenes between nations that we are not privy to as yet.
BTW, I've signed Grayson's petitions in the past and have lent him support on other issues, but his approach on this matter leaves me cold.

(12,774 posts)Grayson was making an excellent point about ALL lives being lost, being of importance. We're getting all worked up about Syrian lives lost - clearly - as a pretense to war. You know the script.
