SYRIA

To Americans who care and not all do; and, to use the president's oft repeated phrase, "let's make this perfectly clear." We are conflicted but not confused. Life is full of ambiguities and let's fully understand them. However, as bad as it is and we deplore what has happened, the only box we will put ourselves in is making a military strike at the tyrant. Did Iraq teach us nothing? We were first hailed and then the very people who praised us turned against our good intentions. And what will happen with Assad: he will line all the bodies up and say, innocent civilians--killed by the Americans. There is no right or wrong answer. There is, in fact, "no answer" and we have to realize that we cannot win, not even a draw, only blame for everything.
