There’s a very fine line between leadership that boldly goes forward alone and going off half-cocked.
And when one of your staunchest allies decides not to go along with you, you might want to think twice. And then think again.
Going It Alone
Friday, August 30, 2013
Not necessarily. You may be morally opposed to using force ever, but you and I don’t know what causes an intelligent man with a legally trained background, a professor of law, to choose this purported path. I’m sure the decision is tearing him apart. I’m willing to withhold judgment.
Correct, and the bucks stops in the oval office!
I sure hope he is going to think twice. Isn’t crap like what Assad pulled why we have things like world courts? Assad could be tried even in absentia….and a judgement rendered. The rush to arms makes me think everyone in America spends too much time watching silly action movies.
I think Assad is a real bad guy. I met a man who was from Syria about 10 years ago. We were chatting about the then American president and I said, “Your president is Assad, right?” He spat out, “He is a dictator.” People have dislike him for a long time.
What Assad did is just disgusting. Mass murder is a horrible crime. Still, I do not understand why we have to fix it alone. I am war weary. We all are.
