I have the rep for not trusting or respecting our President..that's fine, but in this case this is policy.
First, as never before, we as Americans really have no idea what our foreign policy is. That, as I understand it, is on purpose. Not sure I understand that at all, but it is what it is.
What has got my eye here is the very cold, in my opinion, greeting the head of state of Germany received. The lack of a handshake, whether on purpose it not, and the public criticism of Merkel.
That as opposed to many hand shakes, loud praise for a leader that is internationally know for abuse.
Syria, in general, is on Obam's hands, but as much as we think that America stands alone and we think that we can simply heed only our interests, I strongly disagree. The world looks to us for leadership, and failure to condemn publicly, to me, is unamerican.
We lack now even a state Department to speak out. We sanctioned Syria in Jan for use of chemicals, and have since said we will support Assad presidency, so looking to hear our response to this.
We can believe that we can stop the world from shrinking, but we cannot simply look away.
