President Obama, please earn your Nobel Peace Prize by taking action to 1. Coordinate the international community to use all diplomatic channels available to bring about a cease fire in Syria and begin political talks with ALL stakeholders at the table and 2. Begin mobilizing massive humanitarian aid for the Syrian people.
Why is this important?
We face an urgent situation where once again the US is about to attack a country that has not attacked us, but most assuredly will retaliate against any military action we take. Chemical weapons are an abomination, but it is far from clear that military action will have any positive effects to help the Syrian people. Attacking Syria to "maintain our credibility" in the words of one presidential candidate I remember in 2008 is a "dumb war".
