The same President who blocked Syrian refugees from entering the U.S., has now launched an attack on Syria because he cares about "the babies". Cynicism has reached a previously unimagined nauseating level. Nothing rallies the country around a flagging President better than a new war. Meanwhile, nothing bypasses Congress to get unbudgeted funding flowing than war as well.
No one knows for certain who used chemical weapons in Syria. No one knows who are the "good guys" and who are the "bad guys", although of course the lamestream media sure knows. Who would we trust to tell us - ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the CIA? Unfortunately, no one operating in that region can be trusted.

However, in the context of a collapsing empire, it all makes perfect sense.
