(4,442 posts)There are multiple actors involved and an idea was discussed and then yesterday it was agreed to.
I am really having a hard time following along with all the vitriol being aimed at Obama. I think he and Kerry are handling things extremely well. It wasn't too long ago that we had an administration where a strike would have happened, without Congressional approval, disregarding public opinion, without diplomacy discussions and even in spite of concessions offered by other nations. Pauses for reflection, debate or consideration would not have been too likely.
It is beginning to seem as if people are simply bored and are jumping on this crisis for something new to entertain themselves. This isn't entertainment. This isn't a reality show. In the real world things take time. In the real world the solutions to conflict are not always so simple or black and white.
I am proud of my President through all of this.
