You can assume my stance on Syria is similar. \u00a0Unless there is world wide agreement, we have no business attacking the country. \u00a0I agree the situation is dire, but the US is not obligated to play the hero. \u00a0There are many other nations of the world that can help.<\/blockquote>\nIf there is a response, it will be posted...
