As I have said, I have very mixed emotions as to what America needs to do regarding Syria. Today Michael Yon<\/a>, an independent war correspondent<\/a> posted a story on his website entitled, “Syria–Outrage is Not a Strategy.” <\/a>The article details some of the history of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan<\/a> and the fact that many of the statements made by the American<\/a> government during the time he was there as a reporter were simply false.<\/p>\n

Regarding Syria, Michael Yon quotes a letter written to him by Member of Parliament<\/a> Adam Holloway<\/a>. The letter states,\u00a0\u201cOutrage is not a strategy<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

I have a lot of respect for Michael Yon. If you are not familiar with Michael’s work, I strongly suggest that you visit his blog, Michael Yon – Online Magazine<\/a>, and read some of what he has been doing in recent years.<\/p>\n

Outrage is not a strategy. The gassing of innocent civilians warrants outrage, but the question becomes, “What is the best thing to do with that outrage?” That is where the discussion begins.<\/p>\n

What would our goal be in attacking Syria? What would America’s strategy be in attacking Syria? What would be considered a ‘good’ outcome of an American attack on Syria? How would an American attack on Syria bring peace to either Syria or the Middle East<\/a>? What would be the exit strategy?<\/p>\n

Those are the questions I hope will be answered in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
