朝三暮四 Same Assad, Dithering Obama

Old Chinese proverb "朝三暮四 chõsan boshi "might be fit to think about U.S.-Russia agreement on Syria.

 Once upon a time,  in China there was a man who was fond of monkeys very much. He kept many monkeys. Then he was getting poor and poor, and often run short of food for them.
 He was at a loss, but got nice but tricky idea.

  Every monkey was fed  acorns everyday, but he decided to reduce them to seven.
 He said to monkeys " From today ,  I give everyone FOUR acorns in the morning, THREE in the evening".

 Monkeys got angry and made a row.

 He gave another proposal at once. " I feed you THREE in the morning, FOUR in the Evening. Are you OK?"

 Monkeys got satisfied and delighted.  They couldn't spot the same amount of acorns as a day after all.

 After U,S-Russia agreement , Assad is not moved at all, and his policy seems to be invariant. He already started to mop up against anti govt and conceal chemical weapons.

Yes,We Can..... Strike Against Syria.

A wise man changes his mind ,a fool never. This Spanish proverb seems to be untrue.  As for "Change ",  U.S. president Obama won the election to get the supreme status by using a catch phrase "Change".

 Civil war in Syria has been lasting for two yeas and a half. Assad regime  hardly fall. Obama was reluctant to take military intervention in Syria. But he has "changed his mind". Despite of strike against Gaddafi without approval of the congress, he suddenly wanted "Authorization".

 This is his unpredictable "Change"too.

 What cause him to solicit solidarity with the congress?  "Can  Obama order the operation without approval of the congress?"

  "Yes, he can do it alone." Will lawmakers "change", and say "yes" for Obama?
