syria

"Germany votes on military support against ISIL"   A few days earlier, the British parliament voted to authorize bombing in Syria, and that started immediately.

And our Congress continues to refuse to vote on authorization of our combat action there. What a bunch of wusses!

climate

"WASHINGTON — Hours after President Obama pledged Tuesday in Paris that the United States would be in the vanguard of nations seeking a global response to climate change, Congress approved two measures aimed at undercutting him."

As our country is working with world leaders to address an existential threat to the planet, Americans, including members of Congress, should be supporting their country, not undermining it. The political climate needs the changing.
