Lines
President Obama has set a red line in regard to Syria's civil war. The use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government against its own citizens constituted that red line. Is that really a red line from the point of view of humanism or of human decency? Isn't the red line the use of military (or police) power in any country to oppress its citizens? Isn't spying on peaceful citizens by police a red line? Isn't bullying nonviolent protesters a red line? The line of intimidation and oppression is being crossed here in America every day by people with guns.
