Houssam sent me this: "On NPR's talk of the Nation today, guest Robert Kagan, a senior fellow in
foreign policy at Brookings Institution says, and I am quoting as closely as I
remamber:
"the only thing i worry about now is that, we have not seen the worse from
Bashar yet. If Bashar crosses the red-lines. ..… in which case the US and the
wold would hold a heavy burden…... and then we need to respond to massive
slaughter that we cannot tolerate anymore."
I just could not believe that he said that. I called the program to
protest and asked the phone operator if 40 thousand Syrians killed "can be
tolerated", what would the number that Mr. Kagan consider "a slaughter?" Of
course, I was not put on air.
I am waiting for the program script to come out so I can quote more
accurately, I just quickly wrote a note on my phone with what I thought I heard
as closely as possible."
