My opinion is that I have not formed an opinion yet. Generally, my opinion is that we should not be involved in the Middle East at all. That opinion is not held by many in government, so it is unlikely to happen.

Given that, I have not decided what I think should be done about Syria yet. I'm still waiting for more information and more accurate information.

But, you certainly can have what every opinion you hold. That's everyone's right.
