So, sir, you would propose to shrink from every challenge, no matter the immorality of the dictatorial aggressor, until we have none but our own shores to defend? I would suggest that isolationism will result in cynical disgust from any non-Americans left to have an opinion about us.

The AP photo showed a Syrian mother holding her wounded son somewhere near the Lebanese border. That's what the caption said. Yet the scene seemed as old as human suffering itself. It was a picture of every stricken mother and child in every burnt-over war zone.
It could have been a contemporary reproduction of Michelangelo's Pieta in St. Peter's Basilica. Whether in stone or flesh, the passion continues. In Syria, it continues every day. Tomorrow there will be another picture, another massacre, another carefully worded UN resolution. And nothing will change. Till it is changed. By main force.
That day is...
Peace In Our Time
