No public debates on Syria

The US regularly lectures the world on the virtues of democracy, yet the Obama administration is preparing to launch a military offensive against Syria while arrogantly denying the American people a democratic open debate

This is becoming a very disturbing trend: The only time the American people really have an opportunity to hold a democratic debate on the question of military adventures is after the boots have already hit the ground. This type of backwards behavior is nothing more than a pale shadow of democracy, speaking out on a subject when the words no longer carry any weight.
