As we reach the end of today, we notice that the
President Obama’s military option is losing momentum in the US House of
Representatives and also in the American and European public opinions. It is
become a tough call for the President.
In addition, Pope Francis's letter to the G20 leaders cannot
be easily dismissed. The Pope reminds all of us that there is no alternative
to the crisis but through dialogue and that a military intervention will make things
much more difficult.
All this is creating an environment that will be deeply
against the strikes once they take place. President Obama – and François Hollande as well – will have to deal with the consequences in and around Syria,
plus with the citizens’ views in their respective countries. This will transform
any military action into a political
challenge of great complexity. It will open many unknown avenues.
