happens. There is really no control Obama could have place in calming the waters in Syria, when there was plenty pushing him to act in Syria, he did not. I am happy he has ask Congress to do their job in voting on a striking Syria, I know it is going to place pressure on the members but then if they vote to strike or not to strike. I do pray for our president, he has a lot on his shoulders.
