This may be a bit premature and lacking some important, critical information.  After all, the President is going to make some kind of speech on Tuesday and, one could only hope, he will clearly point out why we should or shouldn’t take action against Syria, including an explanation as to what that action would accomplish and what the criteria would be to know if and when it’s successful.  I admit to a certain lack of tactical military education, but to me, any action, after the slaughter of thousands of civilians by the acceptable use of conventional weapons, (including beheadings and cannibalism), would seem punitive not strategic.  The plan, whatever it is, will be to kill more innocent people in response to a heinous act of killing innocent people…seems like the M. C. Escher protocol, no?

The ultimate irony is that the paralyzed houses of Congress, unable to legislate anything, are being called upon to debate and decide the issue.

If anyone is counting, I’m voting NAY!
