It's no wonder why treason is one of only 3 crimes defined in the Constitution. The existential threat created by high level treachery is unsurpassed. Libya was driven by personal corruption and resulted in the USA losing its moral authority. Syria was the natural outcome that allowed Russia to assume the mantle of the "good guys".
This Syrian debacle is a very bad turn of events. And it all can be traced back to a number of high level decisions motivated by personal aggrandizement. Putin correctly read the caliber of US leadership in the guise of Hussein, Clinton, Kerry, et al, but more importantly, understood the state of US society that willingly elected & elevated these people.
Amen.
