The predicament now facing President Obama on Syria can be traced to two notions that shaped his foreign policy from the start. One is his evident belief that America and its foreign interventions are a big part of what was wrong with the world....
...And, in a Middle Eastern country whose leader has shown no regard for Mr. Obama himself or his "red line" warnings. It would be comforting to think that Syria is proving a lesson to the president about the U.S. and its exceptional place in the world. But it seems the president is prepared to act only to vindicate his own spurned warnings on chemical weapons. In other words, once again, it's all about him.
