Values...

US national security adviser John Bolton says a new satellite image shows a previously seized Iranian oil tanker is currently placed two nautical miles from a naval base in Syria. 

Western values has many aspects, many faces. There is a decline in faith in liberal democracy, a loss of confidence in universal human rights, a collapse in support for all kinds of transnational projects. There is a constitutional crisis brewing in London. There are challenges to the free press and independent judges in democracies everywhere.
But this same crisis  this same loss of Western self-confidence, this same collapse of faith in ideals  also has a bloodier, more violent face. That face is the ongoing war in Syria or rather the slow, grinding, murderous endgame of the war in Syria. 
Why are we starving the Syrian people?  Just a thought.
