Maybe, just maybe, the global community can avert an
escalation of the Middle East conflict.
The Russian proposal, with Syrian agreement, that Syria will
place their chemical weapons under international control to avoid a retaliatory
strike, is a good sign.
I imagine the last minute proposal came as a surprise to the
White House. President Obama was planning a convincing argument tonight to the
American people, but that is now probably being revised from the original
address.
The little hearts of humankind often choose attack rather
than alternative solutions. Let us hope and pray that the softer choices and
diplomacy prevail in the Middle East.
The Presidents
address to the nation takes place tonight at nine Eastern Time. I urge all of
us to watch it.
