The Neverending War

The following is by a friend of mine, Jane Huey, unapologetically snatched from her Facebook page. I think it eloquently says what most of us are thinking:

I'd like to apologize in advance to the people of Syria for the bombing by my government that you are about to suffer. Please take all possible precautions to protect yourselves and your families and communities. It's going to happen. It's a foregone conclusion. Obama and Congress are just going through some pretend actions to make it appear that we are all in agreement on this. Please know that we are not. Most of the American people are against this action and do not support it. We have called our representatives, we have protested in the streets. This will change nothing because the decision to conduct this war was made a long time ago by forces more powerful than us. I am outraged and sick about it but there is nothing I can do to stop it and I am deeply sorry.
