Our Cause In The War On Terror

At Every Step Of The Way, George W. Bush Has Put The Narrow Interests Of The Few Ahead Of The Interests Of Most Americans.

[bashar] Assad Himself Has Said On Several Occasions Recently That If The People Of Syria Don't Believe I Should Be There In The Future, Then I Would Step - I Would Leave. He Has Said It. He Has, On Occasion, Hinted That He Wants A Political Settlement Of One Kind Or Another. I Think It's Up To His Supporters, His Strongest Supporters, To Make It Clear To Him That If You're Going To Save Syria, Assad Has Made A Set Of Choices - Barrel Bombing Children, Gassing His People, Torturing His People, Engaging In Starvation As A Tactic Of War.

I've Been Having Problems With The Right Wing Lately.

We Do Have To Take The Long-term View. And Long Term, The Question To Ask Ourselves Is Whether America Should Attack Others Pre-emptively, Whether She Should Embroil Herself In Wars Far Away From Our Soil, And Try To Bring Democracy By Force To The Rest Of The World.

I Think That Our Own Crisis Of Democracy Is In Its Own Way Affecting Our Ability To Leverage In The Same Way That We Used To In The World.
