Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: Syria
The only thing accomplished so far is to highlight the increasing isolation of the USA.

Not really, but certainly the credibility of the Obama administration. When it comes to diplomacy Russia still looks more isolated, I don't know why, but they rolled over after making a point out of wanting to block an UN-investigation of that attack, that happened anyway.

Re: Syria
“I don't know why” Perhaps because each time they agreed on a “limited and/or Humanitarian” intervention, 2 years after, they find a US base?

Re: Syria
What do you mean? This isn’t something I know anything about,and yes I am ignorant.
Re: Syria
The fact that Assad has developed chemical weapons and it is being touted by some as a reason why the US wants him to stay in power in order to keep the Salafists from accessing them; this is the best rationale I've ever heard for every tin-pot dictator to ramp up chemical and nuclear weapons production. It is ultimate insurance against US intervention. What a joke the new foreign policy is. Where is Tom Donilon and Robert Gates when you need them? Susan Rice, huh. It must have been fun making her Nat Sec advisor in order to rub in the GOP's face, until you realize that she sucks eggs.
