Confused by Syria? Me Too

I am really confused by Obama's decision to bring Syria to the US Congress.

Intro

Greetings! I am a political scientist, specializing in International Relations, my research and teaching focus on civil-military relations. I direct the Canadian Defence and Security Network and I co-host the BattleRhythm podcast. I watch way too much TV, and I like movies as well so I tend to write about both and find IR stuff in pop culture. I rant a lot about American politics and sometimes about Canadian politics. I like to take ideas I once learned a long time ago and apply them to whatever strikes my fancy.
