Re: April 6 news story.
As evil and depraved as Syria’s Bashar Assad is, why is it our business to do something about him and interfere in another country’s civil war? It is not our job to help overturn every evil dictator in the world. Many of us would like to see our government spend money on our own people, and attend to our needs at home, of which there are an endless number.
We find the Syrian government’s attack on its own people to be reprehensible, and we mourn the victims of the chemical attack, but for our government to say it cares about Syrians is disingenuous. Trump is on record as opposing any assistance for refugees of this war. If Americans really cared about the victims of this civil war, we would welcome its refugees in our country. Instead, our president wants to bar them. For him to pretend he cares about Syrians at this pint smacks of grandstanding.
Are we now to be drawn into yet another war in the Middle East which that will live to regret?

When a president is sinking in the polls and the White House is in chaos, one trump card remains: Go to war. Will Sens. Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner and the American people fall for President Donald Trump’s lethal diversionary tactic?
