**adaher** says nuking Syria wouldn’t weaken America (except “morally”, whatever that means):

You make comic book style arguments, as if our moral uprightness is our source of strength in war, even though we’ve compromised our values in every hard war we’ve ever fought and survived the experience(and lionized the leaders who led us down that path).

I think **adaher** might not be capable of thinking beyond the short term. Or maybe he’s just not interested in it.
