Obama should Resist the
Clintons & Europe on Syria

"Former president Bill Clinton criticized President Obama on Thursday for his inaction in regard to Syria. This step seems extraordinary", yeah I wouldn't expect an American president to give a shit.
I recall a Pluto Press book making a very different point about Algeria, tolerate secular dictatorships as a bulwark against Islam, and the Islamists will get very popular.I have a copy around somewhere.

"Unlike in Bosnia, this is not a war by an outside force like the Serbs of ethnic cleansing against a neighbor." What?
"– Syria has stockpiles of chemical weapons, the exact position of which is unknown; indiscriminate bombing raids on Syrian military facilities could release those chemicals on civilian populations."
So that's a no to indiscriminate bombing raids.
