		        I might suggest that we first take a deep breath and make an effort to put the events of the past week in some perspective, but I know it wouldn&#039;t do any good. There is blood in the water and in deeply partisan Washington, the struggle for advantage and power always trumps reality.

		        President Obama should stick to his red line policy toward Syria and avoid advancing a red line policy toward Iran that will tie his hands. That may frustrate his domestic critics, but it makes America&#039;s adversaries nervous.  And this is exactly where we should want our country&#039;s foreign policy to be.
