How does a Nobel Peace Prize winner justify launching missile strikes in
Syria? Or for that matter, a five-year drone war in the Middle East? Kirsten
Powers says: he simply can’t.
Swedish reporter asked President Obama Wednesday, “Could you describe the
dilemma to being a Nobel Peace Prize winner and getting ready to attack
Syria?”
Military action is, of course, sometimes necessary to maintain peace. Kosovo
and World War II are good examples. But the president has not demonstrated
that missile attacks in Syria would do anything to achieve peace. Worse, by
all accounts, Obama’s “red line” threat was an off-the-cuff remark, not a
well thought-out strategy. The U.S. should not attack another country
because the president was careless with his words and now wants to protect
his personal credibility. |
