BALTIMORE, Maryland September 2, 2013- The Congress is drifting in and out of town, preparing, so they say, for a vote on whether the United States should take military action against the Assad Regime in Syria for allegedly using chemical weapons against its people.
The political class is fully abuzz because obama first said, unequivocally, that he was taking military action. His current Secretary of State, John Kerry, the same John Kerry who, in all his many years in the Congress never once voted to fund a weapons system for the military, said the need for a vigorous military response to the inhuman Assad's attacks is a necessity, now protests when some reporter suggests he was undermined. Oh really. Rand Paul, the Republican Senator, points out that Assad, for all his inhumanism, has a remarkably good record on protecting Christians in Syria from the radical muslims itching to take over power. One doubts - well, let us be honest - one knows, that if Al Qada or the Muslim Brotherhood slips into power, that protection will disappear so fast it will be like it was never there to begin with. Pre-eminent Historian Victor Davis Hanson also joins the growing group of persons asking obama to resist the temptation to get involved in what all agree is a Civil War.
