easy decision. It is a grave decision, that I believe our President Obama wishes he didn't have to make. But he will rise to the occasion, as he always does, with deep gravity and prayer.

I also listened to the arguments, pro and con, to make my own personal evaluation, as best I could. Based on them, I can see why action need's to be taken against Assad.

I have faith in President Obama in taking the right, moral action. Thank God we have him as POTUS, instead of Romney or McCain or Palin. The thought of them in the WH today, makes me shudder.......................
