Syria is a tough situation, complicated by competing interests vying for support. I've heard lots of different opinions and sides over the past few weeks, and thought I'd share what I've found to be some of the more helpful articles.
- A good mentor/friend leader wrote this. It's against US intervention in Syria.
- An outside perspective here.
- Russia & China are at odds with the west over incomplete information (see here for one story).
- Perhaps the best article I've read so far comes from Carl Medearis. It's not long, and doesn't go into a lot of the current news, but rather serves to setup the situation. I felt like I stepped away from it with a much clearer picture of the madness.
- And finally, to lighten the situation, The Onion's take: let's just send all of congress into Syria.
As an addendum, regardless where you fall politically on this and similar topics, this is a good reminder of peripheral affects.
