Call me a peacenik, but I believe bombing is not a solution. And when the best minds and strategists can’t figure out a solution, why will bombs help? I’m glad we haven’t bombed yet. I hope we don’t. There is not an obvious, good, governmental move that is going take out Assad, the Al Nursa front, nor the chemical weapons.
I have to ask myself, would another country getting involved in our own Civil War have helped? We had enough of a disaster on our hands, but intervention could easily have made it worse.
Meanwhile, this impasse needs prayer and lots of it. With God, there is always a solution. I hope together we can see what it will be. The Berlin Wall peaceably came down when we collectively no longer accepted it.
