Endgame Viable

I’m generally not in favor of going into Syria — the U.S. has a spending problem, ya know? — but I have to wonder what the rest of the world would think of us for intervening in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Egypt (did we do anything in Egypt? I forget), then ignoring the problems of Syria. Also, when the president says we’re definitely going to intervene if Syria crosses a red line, and then Syria (allegedly) crosses that red line, then the president doesn’t intervene, it kind of makes us look like idiots. (By the way, I strongly suspect that some Syrians are trying to make it look like that red line was crossed (via. unverifiable video etc.) just to goad us into intervening.)

UPDATE: I guess they weren’t goading after all.
