War with Syria?

I guess things were getting too peaceful for the Obama administration.  It seems that now our president wants to bomb Syria because Syrians were bombing Syria.  That makes perfect sense, right?  

The claim is that President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons on his own people.  There are counter claims that the rebels are the ones who used the chemical weapons.  

None of the matters to the president, though.  What really matters is that he keeps the Orwellian perpetual war going.

Years ago, America decided between a consumer economy and a military economy and chose the latter.  It is war and war mongering that keeps the economy going because of that choice.  If you dare to speak out against war and violence you are hated and attacked by the powers that be.  If you dare to protest, our government will use its own chemical weapons in the form of pepper spray on you, even though it is your right.  All the while, millions of women are teaching their children that going to war is honorable.  It's not.  It's a bloody massacre filled with the death of innocent men, women, and children... not to mention the servicemen and servicewomen on both sides.

It's extremely unpopular to be a peacemaker in America.  This "Christian Nation" is so blood thirsty that it doesn't seem to understand that Christ spoke against war, hatred, and revenge.  Even the Apostle Paul spoke against it.

Romans 12:17-20

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁷ Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. ¹⁸ If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. ¹⁹ Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”^[a] says the Lord. ²⁰ On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”^[b]

How can we dare call ourselves a Christian nation when we are doing the exact opposite of what Christ would have us do?  Even those who aren't Christians should be able to see the logic in this.  Violence begets violence so causing more violence isn't going to do a thing to stop violence.  Yes, Syrians killed Syrians so why should we go kill more Syrians in the name of being "peacemakers?"  America needs to get out of the war business and mind its own business at home.
