May I correct myself?

When I ranted the other day about Obama's spinelessness, I didn't mean to imply that we should rush into an invasion of Syria, or anything like it.

The whole issue is very complicated, from the point of view of Middle Eastern intrigue as well the point of view of America's long history of using false pretexts to attack other countries. "Remember The Maine!". Not to mention what the British Press referred to as W's "dodgy dossier", the lies that dragged America's allies into the ghastly Iraq mess.

I hope to get myself together soon to write something about Syria, but don't wait for any profound conclusions....

Also the very timely new movie, "Closed Circuit" -
