[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1109939, member: 14668"] Do we write either side a check? No. Aid...in [I]any[/I] form (humanitarian, weapons, direct military intervention) costs money. Doing nothing...and allowing thousands or even millions of civilians to be slaughtered or gassed...[I]also[/I] carries a cost. This is a sticky situation and I agree that direct military intervention (i.e. boots on the ground) on our part is [I]not[/I] a viable option. But sitting idly by and watching civilians get nerve-gassed...or allowing those stockpiles of nerve gas to fall into the hands of those who might use them against us or our allies...is not a viable option either.
