The United States has near airtight evidence that the Assad regime is using chemical weapons on its own people. Intervention by the United States is almost a certainty by this point and it could escalate into a ground invasion by American forces. Should the people of Lao stand up & make it clear to the rest of the world that they will no standby while an evil dictatorship murders its own people? I think it would be a good idea to send a small force from the Lao military.

What do you think?

Many Americans flee to other countries seeking asylum. A recent example is Edward Snowden who exposed the NSA for unconstitutional breach of privacy. Regardless of this and many other controversies, the US still holds itself as a model for the rest of the world; they will not standby while a regime uses chemical weapons on its own population. The Lao should have pride and make it clear they share this common goal with the United States and United Kingdom.

How Laotian soldiers go to Syria?

Fighting with USA or England will do good for laotians?

I understand Lao intervention is unlikely because of sour relations  with the United States. But that is precisely why Lao should show its support in the effort: to improve its relations with the U.S. and therefore build its global reputation. Further integration into the international community would gradually pacify the Lao government on a number of issues. This would eventually benefit the Lao commoner.

If we have to, we can use drones to take them out.  We do not need to use ground attacks.  Those boys that are currently in that part of the world need to come back home.  Those boys are only 'policing' people and not really in 'fighting' mode and because of this, this would make them more vulnerable.

Mr Darwin theory prevails

Why? Because they speak different language? or just eat fries not burger?

Some of you people are really clueless about Laos history. I didn't expect the admin to actually admit faults about the commie Lao gov't but I actually agree with her.
Laos doesn't have an army, it only has these commie soldiers who protect the corrupt commie gov't officials in case someone tries to assassinate them to take back Laos for the Lao people since Viets control Laos.

Laos doesn't care about the rest of the world, they don't care about human rights so they obviously won't care about what happens in Syria. I wish there was another civil war in Laos so that all the Lao people in the rest of the world could go home, I'm tired of living overseas!
The UK look like a bunch of pansies with no balls! All talk but can't walk the walk. Just like when they hesitated to stand up against Hitler. AND AGAIN the US has to step in and stand up for what's right. Shame on the rest of the world. UN has no balls either, just a bunch of paper pushers. China and Russia won't let any international intervention happen. Why is that? What interest do they have in Syria? It's always about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I know why buk dum Obama wants congressional approval, cause he don't want to look like a war monger like the previous Bush's. He doesn't want to be remembered as that president who started wars unlike most of the other past presidents in the US.

Buk Snowden had choices, he made his, and he knew the repercussions. The people of Syria, women and children, didn't have a choice, they were murdered.
Snowden will have a trial in the courts of law and is innocent until proven guilty if he decides to come back to the US. The 1429 people killed in Syria don't have no choice but to lay in a grave now. I'd rather face American justice any day than be killed off by dictators.

There are other ways people can help Syria instead of sending military troops and adding to the blood shed.
They can send aid such as food, water, medical to the victims of war who didn't want to be a part of this power struggle. Many people already fled, just like Laos in 1975 during the Vietnam invasion.

No one wins in war, everyone loses something.
