Can there be any doubt that allies and enemies alike no longer trust America? Our bumbling leaders have proven this country has not a clue about dealing with the horrific unrest in the Middle East. Have you noticed Israel and Iran are both silent on the latest mis-calculation by Washington over whether to bomb Syria? They stand stunned on the sidelines while the U.S. mouths verbal threats and warnings, all of which go unmeted while Russia smirks.

Withholding force until our interests are threatened is wise. I think that was, and still is, the reasoned approach to uprisings we don’t understand and cannot control. Perhaps our effort should go towards working with the Arab League to re-draw the artificial borders imposed by England and France in the late 1940s, providing financial support for those who choose to move to areas where others share the same beliefs.

You cannot bomb a religion.
