Secretary Kerry to speak LIVE on CSpan1 at 2EDT/11PDT...

21. Good point

For years, when frustrated with long term DUers who I otherwise respect taking shots at Kerry or worshipping at the foot of Ed Snowden, I have sometimes used DU to google their user name and John Edwards Or Ralph Nader -- and that is who they supported in far more than random frequency.

It is also strange to hear people surprised that he would speak emotionally or passionately on anything. Yet this is something they would never say of Bill Clinton - yet, on issues that warrant it - especially war and veterans that is how Kerry has sounded since 1971.

On this, I worry if there really is anything -attacking or not attacking - that could be done by the US to make life better in Syria now. I don't like those who say that because Obama said red line, we need to do something -- unless there is reason to believe that it would at minimum not make things worse. I also think, as I have seconded guessed how we got to this point - that the mistake I make is assuming that we have a big impact - even when our actions are limited. I suspect that we really don't. Still, it is frustrating that there seems no way to end the suffering.
