| #2 I bet if No Kill zones are established in Syria, Assad will agree to them. Enemies in concentrated areas makes targeting so much easier. |

| #1 Anne-Marie Slaughter – Clinton’s former policy planning director at the State Department – has called for the establishment of “no-kill zones" inside Syria. So it appears all our intrepid R2P'ers are starting to chime in again. Apparently they must think that Libyan thang was a smashing success. Except for all those pesky tribal revenge killings and missing MANPAD's of course. But hey, that Unity of Command thingee is sooooo Bush. Now it's all about Unity of Vision bayybee. Let's hear a snippit what the good Dr.Slaughter thinks 'bout Syria...shall we? If the U.S. says it stands behind R2P but then does nothing in a case where it applies, not only will dictators around the world draw their own conclusions, but belief in the U.S. commitment to other international norms and obligations also weakens, just at a time when the U.S. grand strategy is to expand and strengthen an effective international order. Ooooh Ann-Marie you sound so..so international when talk about Grand strategies and International orders and all. |
