The paper I posted was OLD - to point out the fact that diplomacy has been going on for years. The Bush administration mentioned was Bush 41.

The issues at hand aren't much different than the issues that confronted Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, and Clinton. Syria sponsors and harbors terrorists, diplomacy has failed miserably. Syria's recent actions only highlight their brazen defiance towards the U.S.

After 25+ years of diplomacy, Syria is serving as a surrogate to sell Iraqi oil illegally, shipping night vision goggles and other military goods to Iraq, allowing safe passage of terrorists into Iraq, and possibly even harboring Iraqi officials and WMD.

When does soft talk stop and big stick begin?
