9:29 AM - PublicWe have a real problem in the West with living with the consequences of our actions.
It probably has to do with the short term thinking inherent in the quarterly profit cycle and the 4 year election cycle. Is this a strength or a weakness?
Instead of heeding the advice of these two hawkish senators, the Obama administration should pursue a more realist foreign policy vis-à-vis Syria that prioritizes stability. Unquestionably, the headaches that this regime has caused many U.S. administrations explain the political motivations behind Obama’s direct and indirect support for Syria’s Islamist opposition. However, the lessons of blowback should be remembered, for the United States armed radical forces on many occasions to advance larger geopolitical interests only to regret such alliances later.
