of these endless wars. My concern is that what Obama seems to be planning will only stoke the embers of war and probably do little to stop it ...

I think he should take it to congress and let them decide, and then the weight of that decision will fall on congress than one person.

The reason I say this is this is a catch 22 decision, whatever he does it will be seen as his ownership, there is no perfect answer, so let congress take the weight of the decision as a group representing their constituents.
