It seems to me that we've done our share in the Middle East. Until the Syrian people begin to step up to their government with insurgencies or the like--there certainly are enough weapons available to them--I think our role should be to continue to watch, wait and do what we can diplomatically. And then not feel too bad about the results.

I think I am with you because any agressive action on our part will bring much worse things in that area of the world.
I guess I get a bit concerned with inaction though also. It surely has not worked everytime we took action,but it does not seem to EVER work when we do not do something.
Obviously whatever is being done is behind the scenes but I long for one of those old time press conferences when the President took questions on all these issues in one conference and spoke from the hip so to speak.
Does anyone know when the last time we had one of those was ?
