[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1197009, member: 14668"] It is certainly possible that Kerry will be unable to negotiate any sort of a suitable deal with Russia regarding Syrias chemical weapons. If that winds up being the case, fine. Let the Tomahawk rain begin. However, we have a moral obligation to exhaust all avenues of diplomacy [I]before[/I] resorting to military force. Dont overlook the fact that Putin is also putting [I]his[/I] credibility on the line by continuing to vouch for the Assad regime and offering to involve Russia in the surrender of Syria's chemical weapons. We dont have to like Putin or the Russians, but we should have the wisdom to recognize the fact that he wants the same thing that we do, which is to prevent Syria from using chemical weapons. This isnt about egos, or national pride, or who has the biggest weiner. Its about trying to find a [I]diplomatic[/I] method for preventing the use of a weapon of mass destruction which is a crime against humanity and a violation of international law. [/QUOTE]
