Syrian debacle

EDITOR: I am reasonably well educated, ex-Army special forces, retired college instructor and coach. In founding the United Nations, one of the purposes was to settle world problems without indiscriminate use of force by one nation against another or its own people. Readers are invited to research United Nations on Wikipedia for founding and purposes.

What is our government thinking? Present all of our evidence to the U.N. We think Russia and China will veto any action? Let's make them do it first in front of the rest of the world. Let leaders from around the world condemn the use of chemical weapons. Present the facts to the world, not to just our House and Senate. What is the president afraid of? As the old song goes "All we are saying is give peace a chance."
