The reason for the significance of the U.S.'s probable action in Syria

There are plenty of reasons why this is significant. Most of them revolve around the fact that I'd doubt most of the people want to be involved in an altercation in the Middle East - or anywhere.

We have reached a point now at home where it no longer comes across as shallow minded ignorance to say America should only worry about what happens within our own borders. That kind of talk used to be reserved for your crazy Libertarian uncle before. Not so anymore.

The Real Estate market is trashed. The job market bunks with it. American education is continually ranked outside of the top twenty in any way, shape or form.

We don't make anything in this country anymore, and we can't even guard the borders that leak illegals who work in the jobs that still do.

We are fat and can not even agree on plan of action to make us not (fat)-so. Obama's Health Care Reform Act was already trashed in April, when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments; it's June release will only serve to smear the ink with which it's pages were written. Nothing clear will come of it.

I just can't help but think that if we take all those billions of dollars our federal government spends on national defense and uses abroad, and bring them home to build a factory, or pay for a doctor's visit, or build a forty foot wall across the Southwestern border with Mexico, our dollars will be better spent.

This event in Syria is important because it's not just flag wearing hippie's talking about fixing America anymore. It's a whole lot of other people doing the talking, and it's swelling. The more American leaders continue to ignore the issues of the people who give them their power in Congress - and ignore the people - more swollen the tide of discontent will rise.

In France once, Parisan mothers took to the capital to demand their bread.

I can only imagine what American's will ask for.
