I only want to add one thing to my comment here. And that is that I'm an idiot for wasting my time. There are three possibilities when someone repeatedly refuse to answer the single, simple reason for my position (in this case, also the central point in the Obama motivation for bombing) -- and instead write lots of gigantic blocks of text. a). You're a troll. b). You're an idealist. They lack answers, but "know" they are correct so they ignore anything contradictory. c). You're a politician or some other kind of paid propagandist, which don't care if you argue honestly (or if what you write has anything to do with reality). I would be willing to bet money that you're a case of c). So I've wasted time trying to talk to you, since you're probably paid for every anti-bombing comment you post on HN. No matter that anyone reads this deep. (I just wonder about the souls of people who knowingly help the Assad juntas of this world with torturers, murderers and rapists. Most of you people are religious and believe in a judgement after death...)

I sincerely don't understand what you're talking about. What "counter argument" I refuse to touch, in your opinion? Just state it in _one single sentence_. Do you really think that "Obama's motivation" is some kind of proven fact that is on your side? Is this it? Also, just for the sake of a joke, what if I was able to prove you wrong in your assumptions about me, in a skype call, let's say? :) At first I was really disappointed to have spent so much time in explaining the whole context of Syrian situation. Now I'm really amused, since 1) I believe in your sincerity 2) I find it really incredible that you haven't grasped my position in all it's honesty and being grounded in facts. I'm not a self-centered person (at least, I like to think so). And I'm really interested in understanding other people. To me your view of the situation is a big question mark that would be fun to resolve.

Here is what pipy refused to touch 6++ times (from "Some trivial points"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6328506 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6328506 (The other example I selected is pipy's refusal to acknowledge that the main humanitarian problem in Syria is certainly the Syrian army.) I'll just quote my answer to his previous comment: As I've written five++ times, it is not only my motivation -- it is the Obama administration's motivation. So your long argument why you don't need to quote and answer [what I wrote] goes also for the main US motivation... THE thing to argue against, you refuse to touch! Which makes your well written text funny, in all its dishonesty. (That you call trivial game theory "illogical" makes it even better.) [And let me note -- shameless liars on the Internet that want to identify me makes me want to call the police.]

    You see, all of the "trivial points" that you mention in the link above are all assumptions on your side, but not facts [1]. You keep calling me a liar, when all of my statements are supported by extensive footnotes with verifiable evidence. You keep calling me a Putin and Assad shill, when in fact none of the footnotes that I've provided point to pro-Russian, or pro-Assad sources. At this point discussion with you becomes pointless, since it is the basic logic itself that you don't follow. On the point of your note about calling the police: IMO, this is a hilarious, `fahrenheit-451-esque` statement. Or, I should say, it would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

I've answered similar garbage repeatedly, so I'll just quote myself: "As I've written five++ times, it is not only my motivation -- it is the Obama administration's motivation.

    The admins seems to have stopped me answering pipi. I have already written the same answers repeatedly to the troll's "points" about why he doesn't need to answer mine/Obama's motivation for bombing.
