I just finished reading this article. It's long but definitely worth the read. Especially in light of Obama's decision to arm the rebels. Obviously Obama is very, very hesitant to get involved in this. And reading this, honestly, what a cluster fuck. What are we supposed to do?? The freaking rebels have large numbers of Al Qaeda. Assad obviously is a murderer. Who are the good guys here? How do we get involved in this without eventual and terrible blowback? As one official said "we've seen this movie already". It doesn't end well for the United States. I suppose I should have made that a spoiler!
As to any Brits who might be on this board, tongues hanging out at the thought of yet another war, encouraging the US to hop to it - you first gents! We'll get out of your way. Please, go ahead of us. I'll hold the door open. With a cluster fuck like this one, I feel that England being ever so much more civilized, and as we know quite a bit smarter! should take the first crack.
