those heinous actions being taken against innocent people. i think it's our responsibility, our moral responsibility to channel the moral outrage to take action, but to make sure it is effective action. effective action that will achieve the necessary objective of prevent ing another chemical weapons attack. >> got an idea how? >> first of all looking at the military strike taking action just to take action should not be the case when that action can cause greater damage and greater harm. what we have seen today with the developments, we have seen russia making statements, moving to the direction of saying let's bring the international community in to take control of the chemical weapons in syria. that's the appropriate direction we need to look. >> nice to have you here. i appreciate it because you have done service so recently. i like to hear from the people who have been there, done that.
