Congress

I've read sme harsh criticism of the way Congress is considering the Syria question. Some say they will dither endlessly, never coming to a conclusiion.

I disagree. I am rather proud of Congress' response. Rather than jump into a politically partisan vote, members seem to be using due diligence to hear all the learned opinions before voting?

That's the idea behind a republic. We elect representatives. We provide them the time and resources to research each question. We trust them with their decision - even if it opposes our own.

Good for them!
