Why Does Vladimir Sound More Believeable And/Or Trustworthy When It Comes To Syria?

I did not read every line, nor did I read the article twice. I may have missed a lot that was said. I didn't spend much time on this article.

I'm not even sure Vladimir wrote it.

But let's assume he did. Let's assume what I read was pretty much the same throughout the entire "article."

Why do I find myself "trusting" Vladimir more than O'Bama at this moment in time?

Don sent me the article. I would have missed it. The final paragraph could have been written by Peggy Noonan:

My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States’ policy is “what makes America different. It’s what makes us exceptional.” It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.

There is some irony here. Hasn't President O'Bama spent his entire presidency trying to convince Americans that "they" are not "exceptional."

One word: Kafka.
