The talks over Syria have gone nowhere and so the chorus rises again.
"Obama is a wuss."
"Something must be done."
"Nobody will take us seriously if we do not act."
As before, the only action on the table is dropping explosives on the Bashar al-Assad forces in Syria. Bash Bashar, as it were.
If we are going to consider that, it would be good to do so with eyes wide open.
For a change.
I'm thinking out loud about it below the fleur-de-kos.
