you are right. I have resisted thinking and saying it--but this vile group has to go. If we-the US has to lead, so be it. I have let myself be dragged into saying yes reluctantly, but I no longer see any way out. Pres Obama resisted striking Syria with air-power also for a long time and has taken heat for it over and over, month after month. Pres Obama is bringing in Arab states--as it should be. It is their fight also.

I was thinking of how Pres Obama is trying to bring all sides into the fight. Here at home he tried working with Repubs in Congress and they continually slapped his face. Now on the world stage, at least he has made some progress in working with others.
