When a red line is drawn, there is no point of return.  A red line is a hard limit between what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. When President Obama, and presumably the entire world, drew a red line on the Syrian regime five years ago they failed the Syrian people miserably.  To this very day, the red line has become a point of no return for thousands of innocent civilians who are horribly suffering and dying because there never was a red line. Now, it has happened again — this time after President Trump announced last week that the U.S. military would be leaving Syria in the next six months. How much longer can the world sit on the sidelines?
