I’m sorry, we just disagree on Assad, now that he has done what he has done and now that the world is dividing up on an Iran vs Israel and the U.S. axis.

I really appreciate your comments and think it best that I hold off commenting until after I've had a chance to watch the speech.

YOU are welcome to see everything as ever remaining the same as it always has. I see differences in the progression of things, and seminal moments, even with history behind being what it is.

Agree to disagree.

Let me watch the speech later today.

But the speech he gave did not do the thing you said you feared. I will stick with my main point on that.

That's very encouraging.

He was very careful, very selective, mentioned conditional support if deemed appropriate, never once mentioned the stupid term, Arab Spring, never lumped all Assad opponents into a mushy, jello-y mass that we should back. Just the opposite.

Again, I really appreciate your summarizing his speech for me.

I agree with what he said in the speech and his POV I took from the speech, more than I agree with what you seem to me to be saying and the POV you seem to me to be taking.

I was apprehensive about watching it but you have given me encouragement and I'll let you know my impressions after I get a chance to watch it later this evening.

Ok. I just watched the speech. I thought it was a good speech. Concerning Syria, I would have preferred hearing him recognize that within the Assad opposition groups are elements that would be far worse than Assad and that they cannot be allowed to take control of the nation.

Thanks again for the summary you provided earlier.
