The crisis in Syria has created global tension since the recent poison gas attack that killed some 1,400 people. How should the United States and other world leaders respond? Should the U.S. Congress grant President Obama “limited” authority to launch a military strike on Syria? Would a limited military intervention be effective or would it cause more problems than it solves? What would military intervention look like? Cruise missiles? Drones? What are the targets and what is the goal if not regime change? Would it deter Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from more attacks on civilians – or provoke him to launch more attacks? Would it trigger regional havoc in the Middle East possibly involving Iran, Israel, Lebanon and others? What are the repercussions if the U.S. does not strike? How might diplomacy and negotiation work to bring peace to the region?
Our panel of experts will address these questions in a FREE Town Hall Meeting.

Don’t Mess with SFBikeLawyer – He’s Armed and Dangerous When Riding a Bicycle
Thursday, July 29th, 2010As stated, don’t mess with the crew over at SFBikeLawyer. Why? Well, ’cause some of them are self-proclaimed “Bike Warriors,” loaded for bear. [See comments.]
Here’s a bicycle battleaxe. And here’s part of a vignette:
“And the second the words were out of my mouth I knew that he was going to attack me..”
And here’s a discussion on how to carry knives and how to use an improvised padlock bolo weapon. O.K. then.
What’s next, full-on chocolate chip battle rattle avec AR-15?
