Many in Congress voted to give Bush the power to commit war crimes against children

and earlier voted for sanctions against Iraq that killed up to half a million people by keeping medicine out of the country.

But you go right on thinking they're going to attack Syria for the children.

You are comparing apples and oranges.

If the world doesn't intervene in Syria then the blood of the next children that are gassed will be on the hands of the people that refused to do anything about the situation.
