President Obama just made a statement about the courses of military action that he is committed to taking against Syria. The president stated that he is authorizing the use of force in Syria,
and will go to the Congress to “have a debate” before the deployment of
force that he is prepared to carry out regardless.
Furthermore, Obama identified the publicized use of chemical weapons in Syria as both “an assault on human dignity” and “a serious danger to national security.”The situation in Syria is dire, and has been dire for two years.
To go over the obvious painful tragedy: over 100,000 human beings have been killed in this fighting. Over a million Syrian children have been made refugees. And last week, about 1400 people were killed in a suburb of Damascus through what’s widely suspected of being a chemical weapons attack.
We speak of the human tragedy of the 1400 dead from chemical weapons last week. Indeed, each and every one of them was a precious child of God, whose death stands as a condemnation of the great addiction of humanity to violence. But if the death of 1400 people leads the United
States to take unilateral actions for war, where was the action when 100,000 human beings were being slaughtered in Syria? How many more tens of thousands have to die before there is not a military but a humanitarian intervention? Why the lives of 1400, but not the lives of
100,000? .
