"The problem with the current U.S. debate about potential military
strikes against Syria is that the focus seems to be on punishing Assad,
signaling Iran, or bolstering U.S. credibility. Instead, our focus
should be on protecting the human dignity of the Syrian people and
reaffirming the rule of law."–Carrie Booth Walling, Assistant Professor of Political Science at
Albion College and author of All Necessary Measures: The United Nations
and Humanitarian Intervention
