President Obama address the nation about Syria Tuesday Night. This will be the beginning of the end game. This is from the US Point-of-view.
It is very personal to me. My son will be an engineer on an unarmed Merchant Ship and leaves next week to that region. There are recent YouTube videos of merchant ships being attacked in the Syria and surrounding region. My personal bias is for protecting the trade of sea-lanes and stay out of other people's affairs on the land itself.
But, regardless of what I ask my congressman to do, there is usually an economic reason to start foreign problems. So, I am just a citizen bystander.
We will see what evolves beginning tonight regarding Syria.
Here are a couple of Newspaper cartoons that I felt conveyed today's viewpoints. Will watch how this changes over time.
