Sir: The Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria may not be saintly but the fact that senior officials in the White House think they hold the key to the solutions of Syria’s problems is even more disturbing. The economic recession and social problems that the US government faces in its own land today should be enough to keep them occupied. The US would do better to solve its own problems before launching missile strikes in a country that never asked for its services, and let the UN do its job. After all, charity does begin at home.
