Did you even read the editorial? He is opposed to intervening in Syria.
Read Lev’s article. His view of reality is both liberal/left and historically inaccurate.
It is not only about “to intervene or not” is Syria, it is about the whole world situation as viewed by an educated, reality-based “geopolitical and strategic view”.
History says that aggressors and genocidal maniacs/leaders never stop at their borders. Why should they if they are on a basically unopposed roll? Hitler - Chamberlain - Munich anyone?
