War, even if waged for the greater good is messy.
But only for us, and not the mean Russians and Iranians right?

No, complicated as in why we are their and why we should care.
That's not what I said. I responded to your point about our government and it's officials. As in, innocents dying doesn't matter to the government decision makers, and it doesn't. It matters to me, which is why I'm staunchly against all of our military adventures of the last 72 years.If you think what happens in Syria does not matter at all you are simply ignorant in the way this world works.

There is a difference between "Oh fuck that was a hospital" and not caring if your friend is gassing people and running a mass murder factory.

You realize that the US supported Saddam when the kurds were gassed, and during the Iran/Iraq war from 1980-1988, right? We gave him a lot of the components to make the chemical weapons for fuck's sake.There is a difference between "Oh fuck that was a hospital" and not caring if your friend is gassing people and running a mass murder factory.
Is their a difference between supporting a sovereign mass murderer, and Al-Qeada?
Because Assad is a sovereign mass murderer, and AQ are head chopping, killed 3,000 Americans, mass murderers, and we armed them.

Yes, in fact there is a difference. Regimes such as Assads that are seen as legitimate and willing to commit such atrocities are far more dangerous and kill far more people.

Just tell the truth man. There is no room for morals in military doctrine.
We don't have the moral high ground. We live in a world of hard power.
Is it that hard to speak the truth?
To whom?Tell me, which county between Iran and Iraq is larger and more dangerous?
Lol, you mean like we did at Kent state?
Or is that different somehow?
To who?
Might makes reality, but it does not make right. You are confusing doctrine one you decide to act and the doctrine of making that decision in the first place.
Saddam was a much bigger threat to the world at large than Iran has ever been.To anyone, to the world.
