Carl Svanberg: U.S. Should Not Intervene In Syria
It makes no difference to victims what weapon is used. On August 21, Syria crossed the line by allegedly using chemical weapons against its own people. Obama has, therefore, decided that it’s time for the US to punish Syria. Assuming he gets Congress on his side, the US will once more be dragged into another senseless war in the Middle ... MOREThomas Sowell: Serious About Syria?
Campaigning is Obama's strong suit, not governing. Why are we even talking about taking military action in Syria? What is that military action supposed to accomplish? And what is the probability that it will in fact accomplish whatever that unknown goal might be? What is painfully clear from President Obama's actions, inactions and ... MORESteve Chapman: The Endless Quest For Credibility
Credibility is overrated. The United States boasts the most powerful military on Earth. We have 1.4 million active-duty personnel, thousands of tanks, ships and planes, and 5,000 nuclear warheads. We spend more on defense than the next 13 countries combined. Yet we are told we have to bomb Syria to preserve our credibility in world. Really? ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: War, War, What Is It Good For?

MOREPeter Suderman: 8 Reasons Not To Go To War In Syria
Is the U.S. on the march to war
in Syria? Over the past week, the stage has been set for yet
another military intervention in the Middle East. Calls for U.S.
action in Syria have grown louder following reports of a chemical
weapon attack in Damascus said to have been carried out with the
knowledge and approval of President Bassar al-Assad’s ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Go See Copperhead The Movie
Don’t give up on Hollywood. I just had the exciting opportunity to pre-screen Gettysburg director Ron Maxwell’s third Civil War movie premiering Friday, June 28. If you see just one movie this summer, make it Copperhead. Copperhead is worth seeing because it re-tells American history with an intimate, engaging and non-textbook approach. ... MORE
Derron Matthews: More Philosophical Filth At The NYT
No good guys in Syria. There is an almost unanimous consensus that, when it comes to Syria, the United States has a “duty” to do something. The arguments for intervention range from spreading democracy to stopping the slaughter of civilians. Unfortunately, few have provided cogent arguments for why American soldiers should be ... MORE
