| #7 On a line drawn eastward from Bermuda to Japan, you essentially pass through one (1) ally of ours. You would see many potential allies, and some developing allies, and several nations with very similar interests. But to attribute any great success or failure to our present policy in and around Syria almost certainly overstates such a case. More interesting is the compare and contrast exercise of the more robust internationalism of the pre-Obama era, with the more feckless multilateral approach of the past few years. All the while, what must the Kurds be thinking? |
