Recent awful events in Syria led to many people holding their breath and watching how some of the world’s statesmen respond. Accusations, denials, use of force and threats seemed to be the currency of our leaders in the immeditae aftermath. The general public may not have inside information nor understand the complexities of political motivation, however many would prefer to see world leaders jointly condemning the atrocity, supporting the victims and agreeing to investigate and prevent reoccurrence. Sometimes leaders have to compromise and work with others they don’t agree with, in order to achieve the correct outcome.
