EDITORIAL - Mr Obama should be careful in Syria
Jun 17, 2013

As he moves to concretise his decision to provide arms to Syrian rebels, Mr Obama should probably reflect on a country called Afghanistan, where he is now attempting to end a war involving the United States.
He should consider how the Afghan mess was created, beyond the proximate issue of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda terrorists, who the Americans went to dislodge after their 9/11 attacks on the United States (US).
