Syria reveals my ambivalence about war

[La Lioness Priyanka]

I am generally opposed to armed conflict, but given the mass slaughter of people in Syria and mass rapes being reported, what should the world do?

Are we going to continue to let this happen?

"With every war and major conflict, as an international community we say 'never again' to mass rape," said Nobel Laureate Jody Williams, who is co-chair of the International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence in Conflict. [Full disclosure: I'm on the advisory committee of the campaign.] "Yet, in Syria, as countless women are again finding the war waged on their bodies--we are again standing by and wringing our hands."
