Pundits are opining that, if Congress rejects Obama’s request for a resolution authorizing the use of military force against Syria, he could become an impotent president, unable to pass legislation on other issues. All this testosterone-filled rhetoric prompts a question: Could it be Low P?

President Obama says the chemical weapons attack that killed hundreds of Syrians was an “attack on human dignity.” Why is it worse to die from chemical weapons than by, say, a drone?
U.S. to Attack U.S. over Chemical Weapons
•
The United States has repeatedly used chemical weapons, including against its own people. Will we act?

Credibility counts. You can’t threaten someone with violence without carrying it out.

•
The Obama Administration prepares to launch a military strike against the government of Syrian President Assad, but openly says it does not want the rebels in the civil war there to defeat him.

If you’re a typical country like Syria, the “international community” (the United States) has gamed the arms control norms so that you can’t possibly win.

•
The Department of Homeland Security has developed BOSS (Biometric Optical Surveillance System) in order to track US citizens from surveillance cameras as they walk around. But maybe there’s a way to keep Homeland Security from following you.

We gave up our privacy to corporations. But that was voluntary. And it wasn’t to the government – the organization that runs concentration camps.
