The Syria thing....

The Syria thing is a mess.

Shame on Congress for dithering, as usual, and failing to take a stand against the horrific use of poison gas against civilians.

Shame on Putin and Russia for obstructing justice (i. e., a swift international response to Assad), and for obscenely proposing to force Assad to voluntarily turn over his chemical weapons for supervised destruction....does anyone on the surface of the planet think that's going to happen?

Shame on President Obama for not staying the course and insisting that the U. S. do the right thing without transparent diplomatic shenanigans.....

I support Tom Friedman's idea: the U. S. should send arms to the good guys on the Syrian rebel side, and President Obama should insist every day, day after day, that every government on earth should condemn the Syrian government.
