We have nothing invested in Syria. They have nothing we need. They don’t buy much of what we have. We have no leverage there. Nobody is going to do much. Unlike Libya, the whole land could revert to barbarism and few in the current government would open their mouths to condemn anything, let alone do something.

Why does this matter? Because Assad knows that he must quell this uprising. And he will. It is what Middle Eastern Dictators do. And just as with Bosnia and Chechnya, Libya, and Iraq, we can not bomb these places back to civility. We need boots on the ground. Right now, we’re spread pretty thin, so I guess someone else is going to deal with this event.

I’d like to care, but I can’t.
