Syria's (Or the Whole World's) Struggle for a Solution

With all respect to our President's thoughts and actions on Syria, I believe that the fight against terrorism in Syria, at the moment, is not our fight to fight. The UN is trying to proceed with the investigation of the chemical warfare and the conclusion of who the culprit is behind these attacks. By trying to bring in American troops and exhorting authority, the US can be prolonging the process of this investigation thus causing more harm than good. Now, I'm not saying that we shouldn't be keeping a watchful eye, or not be acting vigilant in case something does go terribly wrong, but if we keep the necessary distance this may be able to run more efficiently. Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, has stated, "If we can avoid force against Syria, this will improve the atmosphere in international affairs and strengthen mutual trust" (New York Times). It is in the best interest for both US and Syria to have a mutually friendly and cautious relationship. Also, by guarding our own country and taking precautions to make sure any terror attacks aren't made in our country is in our best interest. So I would propose the idea that the President take a step back on this one and let the UN do their job and assess the terror attack while we patiently and cautiously wait in the stands.
