Since we have chosen to thwart our leaders' best judgements on limited strikes in Syria, Bashar al-Assad has had a chance to open his mouth as though we could believe a word he says.
Perhaps when we are paying $12 for a handful of carrots, and our farms are shrinking, our hospitality
industries floundering, we will be more certain about children dying in Syria from governmental gas
as a horror related to U.S. interests.
We will be as certain as we were last century that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain proved a bit
late to the powers response table.
We trusted a guy who was not actually elected years ago. Now we have a trustworthy leader, but
we are allowing ourselves to be gun shy.
We are a nation who either has to learn to trust the honest leaders we have now or go along with leaders of brutal regimes whose policies will wither us from afar.
