But doing so is nothing like what Dubya did in Iraq. In this instance Obama has some evidence to believe that a dictator has used chemical weapons, rather than this inane suspicion. Furthermore, he's made it clear that no soldiers are going to be sent there, rather than deploying 1000+ men overseas. Again, I don't think it's wise to intervene, but it's not going to dominate the rest of Obama's presidency if he does.
