Letter to President Obama from a Loyal Supporter  By Ellen
Lindeen   Dear President Obama,  I supported you in both
elections, with my vote and financial giving.  When you were
elected, I was overjoyed that the US had a leader in the White
House who was bright, articulate and honest.  After the Bush
years, many of us were very discouraged about our country, but
you brought hope.    Now in 2013, you are faced with a difficult
situation.  Chemical weapons have been used Syria.  Although no
one is certain who instigated this unconscionable act, this is
illegal, immoral and demands a response.  However, the answer
need not be limited to "doing nothing" or "a military strike." 
Clearly, this situation demands a reaction, and I commend you
for waiting to make a decision until after consulting Congress.
I imagine you are hearing comparisons to Iraq, and nothing could
be more painful. However, the US must not consider any action
before the UN completes its report and without the support of
the international community
