I cannot see why even a single American, a single Israeli or a single
Syrian civilian should be killed as a result of a token U.S. military
action, undertaken simply to spare Barack Obama the embarrassment of
doing nothing, after his ill-advised public ultimatum to the Syrian
government to not use chemical weapons was ignored.
Some people say that some military response is necessary, not to spare Obama a personal humiliation, but to spare the American presidency from losing all credibility — and therefore losing the ability to deter future threats to the United States without bloodshed.
There is no question that the credibility of the presidency — regardless of who holds that office — is a major asset of this country. Another way of saying the same thing is that Barack Obama has recklessly risked the credibility of future presidents, and the future safety of this country, by his glib words and weak actions.
