Syria – To strike or not to strike?
September 6th, 2013
From my layperson viewpoint, there are 3 options:
1. Do nothing: The easiest, least expensive course of action, but isn’t that reminiscent of what happened in Europe during WWII? And how would Syria, Iran and North Korea view inaction after all that talk about a narrow red line?
2. Conduct a limited strike: President Obama is gearing up to do precisely this. No troops on the ground, limited duration of attack. The UN – think Russia – will oppose this, but the US can proceed anyway…
3. Broker a solution with the United Nations to remove Assad: This is a more long-lasting, mature solution as long as Russia and China pitch in too.
So what do you think?
