Led by a despot
Innocent blood stains the streets
Cries for help ignored
Are the lives lost all for naught
Genocide begs a response
~
If not us then who
Each passing day brings more death
More graves to be dug
More mothers weeping their loss
The regime must abdicate

Corner a rat and it will fight you to death… I cry for the people of Syria, but I believe it is the global community that must act. The rest of the world can’t always assume the US will sort things, however comfy that is for us.
I agree. I think that every country should be saying “Why not us?”, not just the U.S., although after Iraq, and with Afghanistan still going on, I don’t think many have the stomach to do what needs to be done. It is such a shame.
