This is the one year anniversary of the Obama “red line” comments in which the President stated that the military should intervene if Assad used chemical weapons. Sadly, it is clear that the Syrian government did. Now the President now has a choice: intervene in Syria or let his words ring hollow.
In a video post on June 8, 2013, Doug Bandow explains why intervention is the wrong approach for Americans and Syrians.
