Re: are we heading to world war 3

It saddens me to think that a man who has children can give orders for civilian population of his own people to be hit with biological weapons...weapons for which there can be no excuse. (I do believe it was the Assad regime who used these weapons...and before anyone tells me that beliefs are not facts....I know, but the other arguments do not make sense to me)

Now even the President of the US is going to follow the lead of our PM and go to the representatives of the public.
Does this mean that they have seen the futility of wading into a region that is in conflict, and where they can make no good difference...only make matters
worse?

Why are the Arab nations sitting on their hands?
Isn't this conflict in their backyard?

And what a surprise! France has decided that it cannot take on this conflict on its own...but was ready to hang onto the coat tails of the bigger and more powerful US.
